Self Referencing Class Definition in python

Question

is there any way to reference a class name from within the class declaration? an example follows:

class Plan(SiloBase):
    cost = DataField(int)
    start =         


        

Answer 1

I understand what is happening, the name of the class isn't in scope inside the class.

Not exactly. The name of the class is not yet defined when defining it's contents (e.g. scope).
