Is there a generic way for a function to reference itself?

I can access a python function's attribute inside of function itself by below code:

def aa():
    print aa.__name__
    print aa.__hash__
    # other simliar

However, if above aa() function is a template for write other code, say bb(), I have to write:

def bb():
    print bb.__name__
    print bb.__hash__
    # other simliar

Is there a "pointer" similar to the self argument in a class method so I could write code like this?

def whatever():
    print self.__name__
    print self.__hash__
    # other simliar

I searched and found someone said to use the class to solve this problem, but that may be a trouble to redefine all the existing functions. Any suggestions?
