I have the following test code setup, trying to get the class name of a subclass in the super class. (Reason why i want this is described below)
file class_name_start.py ======================== import class_name as cn obj = cn.B() obj.printclass() ======================== file class_name.py ======================== class A(object): def __init__(self): print "I'm A" def printclass(self): print "Name ",__name__ print "Class ",A.__name__ class B(A): def __init__(self): super(B,self).__init__() print "I'm B" ======================== Output: I'm A I'm B Name class_name Class A I would want the last line to be Class B The reason i want this is since i have a number of dialogs all deriving from the same super class. In the superclass i have a save function and i thought it would be easy to get the classname and write the properties in a filename with the classes name as the filename. However it turns out i get the class name of the superclass for all. All the different dialogs are in seperate files. Is there a way to get the name of the subclass. If not i could always pass a param to the init function but in my real life code i already have several params shipped to the init so i wanted to solve it slightly more elegant.
