Hi,
consider the following piece of code, please

def f(param):
nameOfParam = ???
# here I want to access the name of the variable
# which was given as parameter to the function
print nameOfParam, param
return
if __name__ == __main__:
a = 1
f(a)
b = 'abcd'
f(a)

The output should be:
'a' 1
'b' 'abcd'

I tried to look at globals() and locals(), gave a look to the frames
(sys._getframe(0) and sys._getframe(1),
but did not see a possibility to access the information a want
How can this be done?
TIA
Hellmut
I don't know if it's possible (maybe using smelling hackish code).
What I know for sure, is that your function should ask the required
informations as parameters. That what parameters are for.
Tell us whant you want to achieve precisely with the parameter names,
maybe we'll find something suitable.
