Let me preface my response by saying that this is a really weird thing
to do, and almost certainly _not_ what you want to be doing. If I was
to run across code like this, I'd be appalled ;-) Here's one way to
do it, however:
def make_dict(*args):
d = {}
for arg in args:
for key, value in globals().iteritems():
if value is arg:
d[key] = value
break
return d
Note that this returns a dictionary, rather than a string, but this is
trivial to modify.
