function to print current module's name, also when called from another module

def a():
    print __name__

Is there any chance I can have such a function, but have it print the "correct" module name if imported by another module and called from there?

"Correct" module name should always be the one it is called from.

The sys module provides a CPython specific way to lookup your caller:

sys._getframe(1).f_globals.get('__name__', '__main__')

The _getframe() function is documented here, and frame objects are documented here.
