When you say Model object to you mean a class inheriting from db.Model
or a instance of a class inheriting from db.Model.
Another Question ? If you know the kind name then you know the class
name
so why do you need to look it up ?
And lastly When you say "If I called mysteryFx("Pigeon") it would
return the class reference to Pigeon"
don't you mean you mysterFx("Pigeon") would return the class called
Pigeon ?
Just trying to clarify what you are asking for before I chime in.
