I would just use a decorator:

>>> def print_method_name(meth):
...     def new_meth(*args, **kwargs):
...         print meth.func_name
...         return meth(*args, **kwargs)
...     return new_meth
...
>>> class MyClass(object):
...     @print_method_name
...     def my_method(self):
...         pass
...
>>> x = MyClass()
>>> x.my_method()
my_method
