A simple+elegant way to do this would require PEP 3130 ( http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3130/ ) or similar, but that particular proposal got rejected. --14dae934103b7040c904d1d14d81 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Not possible per se without resorting to sys._getframe() or = similar hackery.
A simple+elegant way to do this would require PEP 3130 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3130/<= /a> ) or similar, but that particular proposal got rejected.
