i think __name__ can help in this case but not in the one below.
but are you sure that you wan't t do this? a function that behaves 
differently depending on the namespace gives very hard times debugging...

a cleaner solution would be to create an class that contains fct and each 
module that uses it can create its own object.

if you can say what you want to achieve, we might give you a more specifuc 
advice.
