Maybe I'm not understanding the need for this... or how you are intending to
use it, but if it's going to be hardcoded is it possible to just pass
itself?? Maybe I'm oversimplifying this so don't laugh at me! haha
class foo():
def __init__(self, instancedVarName):
self.var = instancedVarName
print "I'm assigned to %s" % self.var
>>> f = foo('f')
>>> I'm assigned to f
Dumb answer?
