How to obtain the reference name

[Paco]

That's no the question. The problem is I would make reference to instance of
the class, from an attribute of the class.
This is because I need an attribute that contain python code, and this code
need make reference to the instance name.
That's is:

class A:
     def __init__(self):
        self.instance_Name = 'the name I would of the instance'
        self.code = "print 'The name of the instance is:' +
self.instance_Name"
