The class has it, the instance doesn't.

I do not get it. The __class__.__name__ thing works great for me: >>> class Foo(): ... def whoami(self): ... return self.__class__.__name__ ... >>> f = Foo() >>> f.whoami() 'Foo' >>> class Bar(Foo): ... pass ... >>> b = Bar() >>> b.whoami() 'Bar' Please be a bit more specific about your problem, because the problem you described obviously does not exist ;). -nik -- * mirabilos is handling my post-1990 smartphone * <mirabilos> Aaah, it vibrates!
