You could use sys instead, which is IIRC initialized at python start-up,
even though the name isn't put in the namespace until 'import sys'.  So
strictly speaking, it's still importing, but there is no overhead.

sys._getframe().f_code.co_name

I'll second that.  I'll even ask why you want the original binding name of
the function.  (When functions are first-class, the "name of the function"
becomes a bit meaningless.)  What are you doing?  We might be able to
suggest something better.
