Perhaps this will do what you want:

An instance of a class maintains a dictionary of all it's local
variables. One of those will be self.var, but any other local variables
will also be in the dictionary -- I have no idea how you plan to specify
*which* local variable you want the name of.

Anyway, the dictionary is:
self.__dict__
and the list of variable names is the dictionary's keys:
self.__dict__.keys()
and one of the elements in that list will be the string:
'var'

Hope that helps:
