Short version of what I am looking for:
Given a class "public_class" which is instantiated a few times e.g.
a = public_class()
b = public_class()
c = public_class()
I would like to find out the name of the instances so that I could
create a list of them e.g.
['a', 'b', 'c']
...
Behind the scene, I have something like:
robot_dict = { 'robot' = CreateRobot( ..., name = 'robot') }
and have mapped move() to correspond to robot_dict['robot'].move()
(which does lots of stuff behind the scene.)
...[good explanation]...

Yup. Would something like this help?
parts = globals().copy()
parts.update(locals())
names = [name for name, value in parts.iteritems()
if isinstance(value, Robot)] # actual class name here
Note, however, that
a = b = CreateRobot()
will give two different names to the same robot.
And even:
Karl = CreateRobot()
Freidrich = CreateRobot()
for robot in (Karl, Freidrich):
robot.move()
Will have two names for "Freidrich" -- Freidrich and robot
