Get just a class name without module, etc [duplicate]

Question

I'm probably overlooking something simple. Given an instance of a class, I'd like to get just the class name. For example:

class Foooo: pass
instance = Foooo()

print("instance.__class__ = "+str(instance.__class__))
print("Just the class name: "+str(instance.__class__).split(".")[-1][:-2])

This gives the following output:

instance.__class__ = <class '__main__.Foooo'>
Just the class name: Foooo

Is there something simpler than

str(instance.__class__).split(".")[-1][:-2]?

I'm in Python 3.2 if that helps...

Answer 1

Try this:

instance.__class__.__name__
