Re: How to turn a variable name into a string?

[Paolo G. Cantore]

Hi Stewart,
what about the other way, string -> var and not var -> string?
My suggestion:
mylist = ["a", "b", "c"]
for my in mylist:
   if locals()[my] == None:
      print "you have a problem with %s" % my

I'd like to do something like the following:
a = 1; b = 2; c = None
mylist = [a, b, c]
for my in mylist:
    if my is None:
    print 'you have a problem with %s' % my         #this line is problematic

You have a problem with None

What I want to see in the output is:
You have a problem with c

How do I convert a variable name into a string?
thanks!
