What would happen in the following cases:
1)
  dd = zz()
  ee = dd
  del dd
  print ee.__name__
2) 
  dd = [xx(), yy(), zz()]
  print dd[2].__name__
3)
  print zz().__name__


Classes have a name (the one used in their class: statement). 
Instances have no name, period.

But why would you need it? In most cases where people try to use something
like this, dictionaries are a solution.
