Can't be done. Objects don't know what names they are bound to. Furthermore, your question is based on an invalid assumption. Objects aren't necessarily bound to a single name, they can be bound to zero, one, or more names. What name should Spam print in these examples? alist = [1, 2, Spam(), 4] alist.append(Spam()) x = y = z = Spam() -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
