Does Python provide some sort of mechanism for answering the question:
what method am I in?

Example: assume the file example1.py contains the following code:

def driver():
    print 'hello world'
    print __name__
    print 'the name of this method is %s' % str(???)

The output I'd like to see is:

hello world
example1
driver

and I'd like to be able to see it without hardcoding the string
'driver' in the third print statement.  Is there anything I can
substitute for the ??? that answers the question: what method am I in?
