Is there anyway to get the names of passed arguments to a function in python?

Question

I like to know what was the local variable names when they are passed to a function. I\'m not sure whether this is possible at all. Let\'s consider this example:

fun

I like the answer to this question that's found in the Python programming FAQ, quoting Fredrik Lundh:

The same way as you get the name of that cat you found on your porch: the cat (object) itself cannot tell you its name, and it doesn’t really care – so the only way to find out what it’s called is to ask all your neighbours (namespaces) if it’s their cat (object)...

....and don’t be surprised if you’ll find that it’s known by many names, or no name at all!
