After assigning some variables, run this code:

for key, value in globals().items(): print key, value, id(value)

Each line of output is one variable name, its contents, and its id. There 
is a lot of builtin stuff, but amongst it are the entries you created.
Add a little search logic to compare each id to the desired one and you 
have your answer.
