If you don't mind post-processing the results, you can log the function  
name and source module (from frame.f_code.co_name and co_filename) and  
current line number (frame.f_lineno). Later, obtaining the class name from  
those is a bit tricky (and not even the inspect module does it right), but  
perhaps using the tokenizer module, watching for lines that contain  
"class" <name> is enough.
