[Tutor] Fwd: Fwd: What's in a name?

OMG, another one to Mark and not the list. I'll see if there's something I
can adjust in email...

see from you example would be:

lista [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
listb [4, 3, 2, 1, 0]

Which I think is not possible since the list names are lost by the time the
print statement is executing. Unless, of course, I'm wrong. I need the
instance name, I guess, not the object name, of an object that includes no
__name__ method (I'm stretching on this description)
