In python how to get name of a class inside its static method

Question

how to get name of a class inside static method, i have inheritance and want name of derived class

IN following example what shall be there in place of XXX

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure that this is impossible for a static method. Use a class method instead:

class Snake(object):
    @classmethod
    def my_name(cls):  
        print cls.__name__
