A little late, but the requirement to "Extract variable name from itself" is widely used in Django. Each field in a Django model, knows it's own variable name
user_name = models.CharField(...) The instance of CharField knows that it's variable name is "user_name", so that it can name the row in the database the same. On startup Django runs through the Model class searching for instances of Field and gets the name that way _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/SJUKWXOJY6CLPAVTH4NZHDNFXND6USDM/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
