No doubt I've overlooked something obvious, but here goes:
Let's say I assign a value to a var, e.g.:
myPlace = 'right here'
myTime = 'right now'
Now let's say I want to print out the two vars, along with their names.
I could easily do this:
print "myPlace = %s, myTime = %s" % (myPlace, myTime)

Read about locals() and globals() in the Python documentation. These
provide the information you request (ie what names are bound to what

Here is a rough attempt at printing the names of a variable. It will pick
up several names where appropriate, but
my god, I've created a monster!
Maybe I should restate my original problem. Actually, the word
'problem' is too strong. I had a little curiosity about whether I could
write a couple of lines of code more succinctly, or more pythonically.
I didn't realize that this would trigger a discussion abou

thanks Aaron, I'll pick what's behind door no. 1 !
That is, I liked your first solution. Having said that, I would only
have to place either solution once in my code, then I could call it
again and again. So either one would be just as 'light' in actual
usage.
Taking this idea a little further,

But why should it return 'a' and not one of these?

Why not simply get your editor to insert the variable name twice? I
