Does it? Using your function I keep an assertion error. Storing the
return value of magic()in a variable s I receive the following result:

def magic(arg):
    import inspect
    return inspect.stack()[1][4][0].split("magic")[-1][1:-1]

s = magic(3+4) # magic line

>>> s
'lin'


BTW grepping the stack will likely cause context sensitive results.
