How to find the name of your class?

[Dale Strickland-Clark]

Both str() and repr() will tell me the name of the class of an
instance but with a load of other info.

How can I get the name alone - without extracting a substring?

Thanks.

>>> class spam:
... 	pass
... 
>>> x = spam()
>>> x
<__main__.spam instance at 17b6908>
>>> str(x)
'<__main__.spam instance at 17b6908>'
>>> repr(x)
'<__main__.spam instance at 17b6908>'
