For modules, __name__ is the fully-qualified name, and that's fine. But for classes and functions __name__ is just the "given name" from the syntax (whatever came after 'def' or 'class') and that's not fine -- for anything except builtins where we do this I would like the str() to produce the fully-qualified name. I presume by "functions" you mean only things defined with 'def' and excluding bound methods?
