Python - how can I get the class name from within a class method - using @classmethod

Question

I have the following code:

class ObjectOne(object):
    @classmethod
    def print_class_name(cls):
        print cls.__class__.__name__

    def print_class_nam         


        

Answer 1

It's cls.__name__. cls already points to the class, and now you're getting the name of its class (which is always type).

Answer 2

I had a similar question and wantend to get the class name for logging and the function/method name.

__name__ :  gives the program name
__class__.__name__ gives the class name

inspect.stack()[0][3] gives the module name. (you have to import inspect).

Cheers

Answer 3

A classmethod receives the class as its argument. That's why you're calling it cls. Just do cls.__name__.
