No, it's not.   It's a string "works".  There's no dictionary passed to 
myFunction(), so it cannot do what you ask, slow or fast.

There are games you can play with introspection, but they are neither 
portable nor reliable.

Can you tell us the exact assignment, to see whether this is supposed to 
be a practical question, or a way to try to learn more about Python 
internals.
