Something like this might help.
def get_object_title(object, namespace=None):
"""Returns a possible title/name for object, in the given namespace."""
if namespace is None:
namespace = globals()
try:
return object.__name__ # works for functions, classes, modules
except AttributeError:
# search the namespace
for key,value in namespace.items():
if object is value: # do NOT use ==
return key
# not found in the namespace either
# maybe an unnamed object?
return "Object ID %d" % id(object)
Hope this helps.
