The obvious way is:

def someFunction(self):
    print "someOtherFunction: called by: someFunction," \
    "args are: %s, %s" % (var1, var2)
    self.someOtherFunction(var1, var2)

but that has obvious inconveniences. 

Perhaps you should look at the Python debugger and profiler? Do they 
solve the underlying problem you are trying to solve?
