May I suggest using

def who_called_me():
    try:
        raise "Hack"
    except "Hack":
        return sys.exc_info()[2].tb_frame.f_back.f_back.f_code.co_name

?

  There is a slight chance that someone might hit ^C in between
the try/except.  Since ^C gets turned into an exception, your
code will effectively ignore it, which isn't the right behaviour.
