If you're sure it's unique, why not just scan through the pairs in locals()? for k, v in locals(): if v is the_object_im_looking_for: name_im_looking_for= k This method can sometimes return more than one name, due to the variable ordering of objects in dictionaries. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
