Unless I misunderstood the question, that won't work. That will
give you the name of the class the object is an instance is of.
I think he wants the name of the class the method was defined in.
Where is the difference? The method is defined in a class - and an instance
is created from that class.
This works as expected:
class ExistentialCrisis:
def __init__(self, text):
self.spam = text
print 'In the constructor of the %s class' % self.__class__.__name__
ExistentialCrisis("egal")
Yes, but this doesn't work if you have a subclass:
"""
class ExistentialCrisisSubclass(ExistentialCrisis):
def __init__(self, text):
print "New constructor"
ExistentialCrisis.__init__(self, text)
ExistentialCrisisSubclass("whoa")
"""
gives you:
New constructor
In the constructor of the ExistentialCrisisSubclass class
But the second line is *not* in the constructor of
ExistentialCrisisSubclass, it is in the constructor of ExistentialCrisis.
while I read the original post as saying that he wanted
"ExistentialCrisis" there instead. Indeed this example
