Simpler way to create dictionary of separate variables?

Question

I would like to be able to get the name of a variable as a string but I don\'t know if Python has that much introspection capabilities. Something like:

>&         


        

Answer 1

With python-varname you can easily do it:

pip install python-varname

from varname import Wrapper

foo = Wrapper(True)
bar = Wrapper(False)

your_dict = {val.name: val.value for val in (foo, bar)}

print(your_dict)

# {'foo': True, 'bar': False}
