How to get the qualified name of the currently executing function?

Python 3.3 introduced the __qualname__ attribute for function objects and class objects.

It's easy to get the (unqualified) name and a code object for the currently executing function.

But how to get the qualified name for the currently executing function?

As of Python 3.11 this is now possible via:

inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_qualname

(with optional .f_backs inserted before the .f_code as desired)

https://docs.python.org/3.11/reference/datamodel.html#codeobject.co_qualname

You can use executing:

executing.Source.for_frame(frame).code_qualname(frame.f_code)

I don't think you can, currently; see this thread.

Issue 13672 requests adding co_qualname to code objects, and issue 12857 requests making the called function available through the frame object. Both have patches attached.
