How to get name of list

[aberry]

Hi all,

In my script , I need to get name of list Im using

eg. sat I have following list ...
mca = ["kk","jj"]

Now I want to get name of the list i.e. just 'mca'.
Do anyone know any method/attribute so that I can get name of list

NOTE: 'classobj' has in built method '__name__' which gives name of class but Im not able to find anything similar for list

Thanks in advance...

rgds,
Ab

You could iterate through the global dictionary for a list of equivalent value to get the name of the variable.

[code=Python]>>> mca = ["kk","jj"]
>>> for key,value in globals().iteri tems():
... if type(value) == list and value == ["kk","jj"]:
... print key
...
mca
>>> [/code]
