6 def function_identifier(f: Callable) -> str:
8 Given a callable function, return a string that identifies it.
9 Usually that string is just __module__:__name__ but there's a
10 corner case: when __module__ is __main__ (i.e. the callable is
11 defined in the same module as __main__). In this case,
12 f.__module__ returns "__main__" instead of the file that it is
13 defined in. Work around this using pathlib.Path (see below).
15 >>> function_identifier(function_identifier)
16 'function_utils:function_identifier'
19 if f.__module__ == '__main__':
20 from pathlib import Path
23 module = __main__.__file__
24 module = Path(module).stem
25 return f'{module}:{f.__name__}'
27 return f'{f.__module__}:{f.__name__}'
