How do I find out the name of the class used to create an instance of an object in Python? I'm not sure if I should use the inspect module or parse the __class__ attribute.

In Python, you can find out the name of the class used to create an instance of an object by accessing the .__class__.__name__ attribute of that object. You don't need to use the inspect module for this purpose. Here's an example:

python
class MyClass:
    pass

# Create an instance of MyClass
my_instance = MyClass()

# Get the name of the class used to create the instance
class_name = my_instance.__class__.__name__

print(f"The instance was created from the class: {class_name}")

In this example:

  1. We define a class called MyClass.

  2. We create an instance of MyClass called my_instance.

  3. We access the .__class__.__name__ attribute of my_instance to get the name of the class used to create it.

  4. We print the name of the class to the console.

When you run this code, it will output:

vbnet
The instance was created from the class: MyClass

So, by accessing my_instance.__class__.__name__, you can easily obtain the name of the class that was used to create the object.
