Interesting. Are you sure you can't get the class name via the
function, rather than depending on this magic local? That seems
fragile.
Your example code isn't currently runnable ("def class"); can you
provide a self-contained program that actually attempts to display
something? It'd be helpful for those of us who aren't familiar with
internal and esoteric details of tracebacks and __init__ :)
