You need the inspect module:

#- hi all,
#- 
#- If I was to make a function call another function, and from that
#- function, call another function (so that now I was in a 3rd function)
#- something like this:
#- 
#- (function 1)
#-      |________(function 2) 
#-                     |________(function 3)
#- 
#- Is there away I can print out the path my Program had taken 
#- (i want to
#- do this as part of my error checking, so a user would always know the
#- path my program took)?
#- 
#- i.e. printted output of error would be:
#-                   
#-             error with function 3
#-               function 3 called from function 2
#-               function 2 called from function 1
#- 
#- In perl there is a function called CALLER, which I have used to the
#- same effect, i was wondering if python had something similar 
#- for this?
#- 
#- cheers in advance,
#- matt
