Finding the instance reference of an object

[Chuckk Hubbard]

I'm sorry to say I'm pretty confused by the example, but if you want
something like

bob = module.object()
frank = module.object()
and then to know that bob is bob from a list of instances, you could
instead do something like:

for person in listofnames:
     temp = module.object(person)
     list.append(temp)

where the __init__ function assigns the argument to object.nametag or
something.  This way you can retrieve the name from an index into the
list, or retrieve the index by searching for the name...
