Getting Object Name And Function Name

It is actually 2 questions. 1) Is there a generic way to get the class name of an instance, so if I have a class class someClass(object): I would like a built in way that gives m

Solution 1:

use the __name__ attribute:

Class:

>>>classA:pass>>>A.__name__
'A'
>>>A().__class__.__name__       #using an instance of that class
'A'

Function:

>>>deffunc():...print func.__name__...>>>func.__name__
'func'
>>>func()
func

A quick hack for classes will be:

>>>import sys>>>classA():...deffunc(self):...        func_name = sys._getframe().f_code.co_name...        class_name = self.__class__.__name__...print'Executing {} from {}'.format(func_name, class_name)...>>>A().func()
Executing func from A

Solution 2:

the function part has already been answered at this SO post. The code would be:

import sys
print sys._getframe().f_code.co_name

For the class part, use: A.__name__ or A().__class__.__name (for an instance)
