I'm sorry, but I am not sure what you mean.

>>>print __name__
__main__
>>>dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__']


__name__ is what the variable is called. The name of the variable
is not going to change. The value of the variable might change though.

>>>__name__='The Larch'
>>>print __name__
The Larch
