Accessing the name of an actual parameter

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi,

consider the following piece of code, please

----- -----

def f(param):
   nameOfParam = ???
   # here I want to access the name of the variable
   # which was given as parameter to the function
   print nameOfParam, param
   return

if __name__ == __main__:

   a = 1
   f(a)

   b = 'abcd'
   f(a)

----- -----

The output should be:

'a' 1
'b' 'abcd'

----- -----

I tried to look at globals() and locals(), gave a look to the frames
(sys._getframe(0) and sys._getframe(1),
but did not see a possibility to access the information a want

How can this be done?

TIA

Hellmut
