How can I change data frame names in a list into the string with python?

list = [a,b,c,d]
# each element in the list is a dataframe
# I wanna change this list into
["a","b","c","d"]

You can use this:

def get_df_name(df):
    return [x for x in globals() if globals()[x] is df][0]
l = [a,b,c]

l = list(map(get_df_name,l))

  • While code-only answers might answer the question, you could significantly improve the quality of your answer by providing context for your code, a reason for why this code works, and some references to documentation for further reading.
