Cancel my last post, I just realised you want to do it 
from within the same module - like using self in an 
object - sort of...

Like D-Man says I can't think why you'd need to - if you 
know the name you know the object. I guess maybe if you 
were writing some kind of debugger where the object name 
was read from a file or the user maybe? In which case 
maybe you could use eval() or exec() after comparing 
with dir() to check validity?
