What would the semantics of nameof be in Python? Would it just be lambda obj:
obj.__name__? Or some fancy inspect-module style chain of “try this, then that,
then the other”? Or does it need to look at the compiled source code context or
something?
I think some wrapper around inspect.getmembers() would be the
easiest/best thing to do.
dict(inspect.getmembers(obj))['__name__']
With some error checking for the KeyError if inspect.getmembers can't
get a name for the object you passed in.
There are probably more performant ways to write this, but this was my
easy one-liner version.
