Another possibility would be (requiring no syntax change):
name = function(args)
would always be expanded to
name = function(args) name.__name__ = "name"
or to
name = function(args) # and function.__name__ is already available while function is called
Maybe, somebody knows a reason why a called callable shouldn't know that piece of information. I can't think of one.
If there's no assignment, __name__ is None.
I'm not sure I follow this proposal. Could you explain a little please? Given x = Symbol('x') as the current approach, how would you modify that to work with your proposal? If you could show how you'd write a wrapper function AutoSymbol, so that x = AutoSymbol() did the same as the above, that'd help me a lot. Thanks, Paul
