Find out the name of a variable passed as an argument

[Andreas Huesgen]

Hello everybody,

is there a way to receive the name of an object passed to a function
from within the function.

something like

def foo(param):
print theNameOfTheVariablePassedToParam

var1 = "hello"
var2 = "world"

var1

var2

thanks in advance,

greets
