我希望能够以字符串的形式获取变量的名称,但我不知道Python是否有那么多的自省功能。喜欢的东西:

>>> print(my_var.__name__)
'my_var'

我想这样做是因为我有一堆变量,我想把它们转换成一个字典,比如:

bar = True
foo = False
>>> my_dict = dict(bar=bar, foo=foo)
>>> print my_dict 
{'foo': False, 'bar': True}

但我想要更自动的。

Python有locals()和vars(),所以我猜有一种方法。


当前回答

大多数对象没有__name__属性。(类、函数和模块可以;还有其他内置类型吗?)

除了print("my_var"),你还期望print(my_var.__name__)有什么?你能直接使用字符串吗?

你可以"slice" a dict:

def dict_slice(D, keys, default=None):
  return dict((k, D.get(k, default)) for k in keys)

print dict_slice(locals(), ["foo", "bar"])
# or use set literal syntax if you have a recent enough version:
print dict_slice(locals(), {"foo", "bar"})

另外:

throw = object()  # sentinel
def dict_slice(D, keys, default=throw):
  def get(k):
    v = D.get(k, throw)
    if v is not throw:
      return v
    if default is throw:
      raise KeyError(k)
    return default
  return dict((k, get(k)) for k in keys)

其他回答

我根据这个问题的答案写了一个简洁有用的函数。我把它放在这里,以防有用。

def what(obj, callingLocals=locals()):
    """
    quick function to print name of input and value. 
    If not for the default-Valued callingLocals, the function would always
    get the name as "obj", which is not what I want.    
    """
    for k, v in list(callingLocals.items()):
         if v is obj:
            name = k
    print(name, "=", obj)

用法:

>> a = 4
>> what(a)
a = 4
>>|
import re
import traceback

pattren = re.compile(r'[\W+\w+]*get_variable_name\((\w+)\)')
def get_variable_name(x):
    return pattren.match( traceback.extract_stack(limit=2)[0][3]) .group(1)

a = 1
b = a
c = b
print get_variable_name(a)
print get_variable_name(b)
print get_variable_name(c)

这在Python中是不可能的,因为Python真的没有“变量”。Python有名称,同一个对象可以有多个名称。

    if default is throw:
      raise KeyError(k)
    return default
  return dict((k, get(k)) for k in keys)
>>> a = 1
>>> b = 1
>>> id(a)
34120408
>>> id(b)
34120408
>>> a is b
True
>>> id(a) == id(b)
True

通过这种方式,可以获得'a'或'b'的varname。
