- Function objects now have an __module__ attribute that is bound to
the name of the module in which the function was defined. This
attribute is used by pickle.whichmodule(), which changes the
behavior of whichmodule slightly. In Python 2.2 whichmodule()
returns "__main__" for functions that are not defined at the
top-level of a module (examples: methods, nested functions). Now
whichmodule() will return the proper module name.
