Unless I'm grossly misreading your question, the answer is that python
more or less does that for you automatically.

    class Spam:
        def method(self):
            print "Look at me, I'm ", self

    eggs = Spam()
    eggs.method()

If you're looking for something more sophisticated than that, I think
you need to rephrase your question (or hold out for someone who
understands your problem better).

Thanks,
