This is simple, but I just cannot find it after quite a bit of searching

I have this basic design

class  A:
        def __init__(self):
                print 'I am an instance of ', self.__class__.name

class B(A):
        pass


X = B
I would like this to print "I am an instance of B"  but I keep getting A.  Can 
someone help me out here.


Why would creating an alias for class B execute the initializer for either class?

perhaps you meant:

x = B()

BTW, since you're on 2.x python, you should derive A from object. Otherwise it's an old-style class.
