What's supposed to happen in this situation?

class Person(object):

j = Person()
john = j
jack = j

What single name should we get back from the single Person object
here? "j", "john", or "jack"?
I was hoping that it would be possible to create a function
that would do the following:
def my_name(some_object):
return some_object.__name__
so, using what you entered above..
my_name(j)
'j'
my_name(john)
'john'
my_name(jack)
'jack'
But I see what I think you and others have been trying to explain to me:
that the expression some_object.__name__, if it existed, would indeed be
schizophrenic since it would be an attribute of the object, not the
name(s) to which it is bound.
Thanks all for your replies.
