An instance of a class maintains a dictionary of all it's local variables. One of those will be self.var, but any other local variables will also be in the dictionary -- I have no idea how you plan to specify *which* local variable you want the name of. Anyway, the dictionary is: self.__dict__ and the list of variable names is the dictionary's keys: self.__dict__.keys() and one of the elements in that list will be the string: 'var' Hope that helps: Gary Herron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
