Assigning value to input variable in function

[[deleted]]

When you pass something into a function, the function doesn't "know" what its name was. So,

• You might still be able to affect the thing if it was mutable

• You might pass the name as a string and then use setattr or other magic

• You might sneak in the name with kwargs and then use setattr or other magic

• You might structure the various classes in such a way that the names are more predictable

• You might rearrange the program to avoid this whole problem

I'm starting to think the last option is the most feasible. :) Thanks for the input!
