If you insist, here is some horrible inspect-based solution.
import inspect, re def varname(p): for line in inspect.getframeinfo(inspect.currentframe().f_back)[3]: m = re.search(r'\bvarname\s*\(\s*([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*)\s*\)', line) if m: return m.group(1) if __name__ == '__main__': spam = 42 print varname(spam)
I hope it will inspire you to reevaluate the problem you have and look for another approach.
