Not at all. Not all objects have an attribute "__name__", and 
Python does not attempt to point back to referencing objects. 
Those objects having a __name__ attribute (eg, class objects, 
function objects) tend to use it for the name given when the 
object was defined.

class A:
  pass

Now A.__name__ is "A".

B = A
And so is B.__name__.
