Sounds simple, but how, given an instance, do I find the class?

<inst>.__class_ _

For example:

Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Aug 5 2008, 03:26:50)
[GCC 4.3.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>x = "hello"
>>x.__class__

<type 'str'>

>>>

Works for new-style classes only. The "generic" way to go is to use
type(obj).

<op>
Note that in both cases, what you'll get back is the class object, not
the class name
</op>
