Fine!

I have now:

def a(x=None):
  if not hasattr(a,'x'): a.x = 0
  a.x += 1
  print('%d:' % a.x,x)

This simply counts the calls of a()

But, when I rename the function I have to rename the attribute also.
Is it possible to refer the attribute automatically to its function?
Something like:

def a(x=None):
  if not hasattr(_function_,'x'): _function_.x = 0
  _function_.x += 1
  print('%d:' % _function_.x,x)
