Sure, here's the decorated method from v2.py:

    class MetersController(rest.RestController):
        """Works on meters."""

        @pecan.expose()
        def _lookup(self, meter_name, *remainder):
            return MeterController(meter_name), remainder

        @wsme_pecan.wsexpose([Meter], [Query])
        @secure(RBACController.check_permissions)
        def get_all(self, q=None):

and here's the decorator called by the secure tag:

    class RBACController(object):
        global _ENFORCER
        if not _ENFORCER:
            _ENFORCER = policy.Enforcer()


        @classmethod
        def check_permissions(cls):
            # do some stuff

In check_permissions I'd like to know the class and method with the @secure tag that caused check_permissions to be invoked.  In this case, that would be MetersController.get_all.

Thanks
