You also only showed it working on module globals. (For code at
top-level, locals() returns the same as globals() )
You could also try it inside functions, where locals() really makes
sense as a name. And you could try it in a nested function where
there may very well be non-locals (eg. closure items) that aren't
local or global.
You've taken me to new territory:

I wasn't familiar with 'closures' and to be truthful, still am not,
although thanks to you I am at least aware of the idea.
But more interestingly, you could try it on items of a list, or
members of a dictionary, where there's no name at all associated with
the object.
It simply returns None. I assume that's the point you are making?
(That it has no name, or perhaps more accurately expressed: there is
no name to discover.)
