how can a function find the name by which it is called?
#10
i am wanting to phrase the message in a certain context for this user base that is following some specific instructions to get specific results. these users are running commands (in the future, to use a GUI app) that constructs some Python code. these users are not coders and probably have no understanding of a traceback or the Python message. if the function can get the name that would simplify the task. otherwise i will need to add another argument in both the function and all makers of calling code.

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual. Two languages? Bilingual. One language? American.
