How to write a function to return the variable name?

Question

I want a function that can return the variable/object name as str like this :

def get_variable_name (input_variable):
    ## some codes

>>get_variable         


        

Answer 1

def getvariablename(vara):
    for k in globals():
        if globals()[k] == vara:
                  return k
     return str(vara)

may work in some instance ...but very subject to breakage... and I would basically never use it in any kind of production code...

basically I cant think of any good reason to do this ... and about a million not to
