Function Documentation

◆ get_caller_name()

def lsst.utils.get_caller_name.get_caller_name (   skip = 2)
Get the name of the caller method.

Any item that cannot be determined (or is not relevant, e.g. a free
function has no class) is silently omitted, along with an
associated separator.

Parameters
----------
skip : `int`
    How many levels of stack to skip while getting caller name;
    1 means "who calls me", 2 means "who calls my caller", etc.

Returns
-------
name : `str`
    Name of the caller as a string in the form ``module.class.method``.
    An empty string is returned if ``skip`` exceeds the stack height.

Notes
-----
Adapted from from http://stackoverflow.com/a/9812105
by adding support to get the class from ``parentframe.f_locals['cls']``
