If you're using new-style classes, check out the __mro__ member, which no doesn't show up in its dir(). Otherwise, we can try a settrace (frame.f_code.co_name has the name of the class being defined in a class statement) or accumulate some class statements with a custom 'parser' run in the module 'parser'. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
