Getting the name of a variable as a string

Question

This thread discusses how to get the name of a function as a string in Python: How to get a function name as a string?

How can I do the same for a variable? As oppose

Answer 1

Many of the answers return just one variable name. But that won't work well if more than one variable have the same value. Here's a variation of Amr Sharaki's answer which returns multiple results if more variables have the same value.

def getVariableNames(variable):
    results = []
    globalVariables=globals().copy()
    for globalVariable in globalVariables:
        if id(variable) == id(globalVariables[globalVariable]):
            results.append(globalVariable)
    return results

a = 1
b = 1
getVariableNames(a)
# ['a', 'b']
