print names of dictionaries

[Philippe Martin]

Hi,

I do not know if there is a way to overload the instantiation of all objects
in Python but I thought of something like this to fetch any object with its
name:

g_dict = {}


def create_object (v,s):
   p = v
   g_dict[s] = id(p)
   return p

#ex
object = create_object ([1,2,3,4], 'A LIST')
