28  """Get the name of the caller method.
29 
30  Any item that cannot be determined (or is not relevant, e.g. a free
31  function has no class) is silently omitted, along with an
32  associated separator.
33 
34  Parameters
35  ----------
36  skip : `int`
37  How many levels of stack to skip while getting caller name;
38  1 means "who calls me", 2 means "who calls my caller", etc.
39 
40  Returns
41  -------
42  name : `str`
43  Name of the caller as a string in the form ``module.class.method``.
44  An empty string is returned if ``skip`` exceeds the stack height.
45 
46  Notes
47  -----
48  Adapted from from http://stackoverflow.com/a/9812105
49  by adding support to get the class from ``parentframe.f_locals['cls']``
