Use of sys._getframe() is generally considered something of a skanky hack. (Though it is often done 
anyway.) Here is another solution that only uses supported public interfaces:

def debug(msg):
     import traceback
     frame = traceback.extract_stack(limit=1)[0]
     filename, line_number, name, text = frame

     return 'File "%s", line %d, in %s: %s' % (filename, line_number, name, msg)
