But: >>> Foo.__name__ 'Foo' >>> repr(Foo()) '<__main__.Foo object at 0x00CAFFD0>' >>> Foo.__dict__['__name__'] <property object at 0x00CBA6F0> It seems that Foo.__name__ and Foo.__dict__['__name__'] are not the same thing, and Python itself only uses the former. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
