How can I acquire the calling function in an object?

Hello everyone,
I have a class that has several methods. How can I access the name of a specific method (function) in another method? For example, let's assume that I have 3 method functions: fun1, fun2 and fun3. In fun1 and in fun2 I call fun3. In fun3 I want to know by which function it was invoked: fun1 or fun2? How can I achieve it?
Thank you.

Look at the "dbstack" object:
callingStack = dbstack

It seems to have a debug tool. Is it safe to use it for non-debugging purposes?
Of course. Just treat it like any other variable.
