An easy way to label or see which pynguins are which, when using multiple?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Something as simple as overlaying its variable name would be awesome.  Thanks!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8, Ubuntu 9.10

It would also be kind of cool if you could make the pynguins different colors. 
I've looked at trying to change the color of items loaded from svg before and 
never was able to figure that out. There may be a way to do it though.

It's tough to label something with its "name" since any object can have 
multiple names and no one is specific to the object ...

>>> p2 = Pynguin()
>>> p3 = p2
>>> p2 = Pynguin()

Which one is p2?

Maybe they could just be numbered in order of creation.

Possibly Pynguin could have a .label() method  ...

>>> p2 = Pynguin()
>>> p2.label('bob')

Maybe default to the numbers, but add .label() also in case people want to 
label them.

I like the .label() idea, (and accompanying .label) as well as the default of 
the numbering in order. . .

Actually, I think "name" might be nicer, FWIW.

Try after Revision c4732206fb6c. There is now a .label() function and a .name 
attribute for each pynguin.
