accessing method name from within a c-function

Yep, in c++ to be precise. But thanks to you, I now realize that this
is actually the problem :)

Yeah - that's it! I just wasn't thinking pythonesque. So each time,
the client registers a custom native c method, I let the interpreter
evaluate a function definition of a wrapper function. This wrapper,
when invoked by python code, calls my c-entry-point-function and
passes it's name right before 'self'. I like that, this way my code
doesn't depend on the interpreter's implementation details.
Thank you very much for your help.
