See the following console session:
4.6.__class__.__name__
The first decimal is considered to be part of the float literal here...
'float'
6.__class__.__name__
... _and_ here...
File "<stdin>", line 1
6.__class__.__name__
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
... which explains the error -- the float value is improper.
x = 6
x.__class__.__name__
'int'
"me".__class__.__name__
'str'
I note that the reference to '__class__.__name__' for string and
float literals is executed, but that there is a SyntaxError for that
same reference of a 'int' literal.
I'd welcome comments, explanations or URLs to discussions.
thanks
Try
>>> (6).__class__.__name__
'int'
>>>
HTH,
Emile
