No, you can't. You're assuming that the name bound to an object is somehow part of that object, but it isn't. What would happen if you did this: print(Hand()) There's no name, so you can't get that information. The only way to do it would be to pass that to the Hand object, but you may as well simply print it out separately. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
