You can access it by the attribute __class__ of the object.

Presumably you want to access this win32 API:
----
GetClassName
The GetClassName function retrieves the name of the class to which the specified window belongs.

int GetClassName(
HWND hWnd, // handle of window
LPTSTR lpClassName, // address of buffer for class name
int nMaxCount // size of buffer, in characters
);
----

Most people here probably think of something different when you say "class" ;-)
IOW, best to mention the windows connection, if it's not strictly a Python question.

There are extension modules that will let you get at the win32 api. E.g.,
see Mark Hammond's win32all at

or Thomas Heller's ctypes module at
