Name bindings are one-way. You can't go from the object to its name. An object may have zero, one, or multiple names; and function-local names could be used more than once. If you want an object to have a name for tracing purposes, you'll have to give it one as some sort of attribute. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
