[MATRIX-SIG] making a text label from an object instance?

[Phil Austin]

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted as well.


For my plotting package I would like to have the default axes labels
be the names of the objects being plotted.  For example, if the
command is:

plot(time[:,4],vel[:,3,2])

I would like to generate strings containing "time[:,4]" and
"vel[:,3,2]".  Is this possible with Python?  

For those who know Splus, I'm looking for the equivalent of
deparse(substitute(time[:,4]))

Regards, Phil
