If obj has no module attribute (or if it is None), pickle (didn't check cPickle) also does

for n, module in sys.module.items(): if "module-ignored": continue if getattr(module, result, None) is obj: break # use n as module name What is "module-ignored" above? It's obviously not a literal string...

It's skipped if module is None (skip dummy package entries) or n=='main'.
