Before I ask this, do note: I want this for debugging purposes. I know that this is going to be some bad black magic, but I want to use it just during debugging so I could identify my objects more easily.

It's like this. I have some object from class A that creates a few B instances as attributes:

class A(object):
    def __init__(self)
        self.vanilla_b = B()
        self.chocolate_b = B()

class B(object):
    def __init__(self):
        # ...

What I want is that in B.__init__, it will figure out the "vanilla_b" or whatever attribute name it was given, and then put that as the .name attribute to this specific B.

Then in debugging when I see some B object floating around, I could know which one it is.

Is there any way to do this?
