>>> import t
>>> print dir(t)
['A', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__']

Now you have the list of names. To find out if they are actual classes
or not you can do this:

>>> import inspect
>>> for member in dir(t):
...     print member, inspect.isclass(getattr(t, member))
... 
A True
__builtins__ False
__doc__ False
__file__ False
__name__ False
