If you just want the names an instance has in a given namespace, you could
give your class a method like:
class KnowNames(object):
def get_names(self, namespace):
id_str = str(hex(id(self))[:-1])
return [i for i in namespace if id_str in str(namespace[i])]
which will give you a list of names when called on an instance.
But if you try moving that method inside __init__(), it returns an empty list
because any assignment is not yet in the namespace.
I can see that it's tantalizing, though, because _somebody_ must know about
the assignment; after all, we just executed it!
