Is it possible to create a function in Python to detect and return the row number which the function is called?

For example, if the function is called at the line 32, the function returns 32.

I know that some libraries can do this, but I'd like to do it from scratch.

The built-in `inspect` module can do this. – jasonharper Nov 29 '21 at 21:31
