Anyone familiar with PHP? I'm trying to make a translation. In PHP you can get the current object's name by going like this:
get_class(item) == 'ClassName' I've tried type(item), but since I can't be sure if I'll be in __main__ or as a child object, I can't guarantee what that value will return, so I can't just manipulate that value as a string. Is there a simple way to get the current object's name? You would think __name__ would work, right? It doesn't. Now here's another, similar one: You can reference an object's parent object directly in PHP, like so: //note the charming use of semi-colon. isn't it cute? parent::__construct( $stuffInAWeirdSyntaxThatDoesntMeanAnythingWhenYouReadIt); I'd like to avoid passing a reference to an object's parent in __init__, but is there a built in way in Python to say "You, Parent Object, do ...stuff!"
