Little Q: how to print a variable's name, not its value?

thanks Aaron, I'll pick what's behind door no. 1 !
That is, I liked your first solution. Having said that, I would only
have to place either solution once in my code, then I could call it
again and again. So either one would be just as 'light' in actual
usage.
Taking this idea a little further, I'd like to build a 'variable
inspector' for my GUI app, so that I don't have to resort to debug
statements. Instead, I could pop open a window that lists every
variable that has an expected None, string, int or float value, and
select any one in order to see its value at that time. I believe your
method would be useful in that situation as well, no?
cheers,
