The simplest and best option here is to store the objects in a
dictionary with their keys being the generated names.
Thanks. Indeed Alex, that may well be the simplest way, to have an
overarching Dictionary of references/names and objects.
However this does not help me to use the

I've never really understood these requests (and they come up a lot).
Unless you're doing a '*' import, you'll already know the bound names
Indeed they do. My delighted thanks. You have most precisely addressed
the problem I intended to convey.
I should have given the case of module attributes a moments further
thought, an obvious answer. The locals() was unknown to me (rookie
gaps).
Thank you for the elaborated illustration.

That explanation makes no sense. Given the assignment:
x = 57
if the name of x isn't 'x', then what on earth can it possibly mean to
ask for the name of a variable?
He didn't ask for the name of a variable, he asked for the name of an

I would like to create objects with algorithmically determined names
based on other object names and use object names for general algorithm
input.
How would one extract the name of an object from an object instance as
a string. I would think that it is stored as an attribute of the
object but
