[python] Convert Variable Name to String?

Technically the information is available to you, but as others have asked, how would you make use of it in a sensible way?

>>> x = 52
>>> globals()
{'__builtins__': <module '__builtin__' (built-in)>, '__name__': '__main__', 
'x': 52, '__doc__': None, '__package__': None}

This shows that the variable name is present as a string in the globals() dictionary.

>>> globals().keys()[2]
'x'

In this case it happens to be the third key, but there's no reliable way to know where a given variable name will end up

>>> for k in globals().keys():
...   if not k.startswith("_"):
...     print k
...
x
>>>

You could filter out system variables like this, but you're still going to get all of your own items. Just running that code above created another variable "k" that changed the position of "x" in the dict.

But maybe this is a useful start for you. If you tell us what you want this capability for, more helpful information could possibly be given.
