Get name of current class?

Question

How do I get the name of the class I am currently in?

Example:

def get_input(class_name):
    [do things]
    return class_name_result

class foo():
         


        

Answer 1

You can access it by the class' private attributes:

cls_name = self.__class__.__name__

EDIT:

As said by Ned Batcheler, this wouldn't work in the class body, but it would in a method.
