Retrieving the name of the class calling an instance method

In Python, is it possible for an instance method to know the name of the
class which is calling it? For example, in the sample below, I would like
for the someMethod method to print the name of the class calling it ("bar"
in the first case, "again" in the second).

---------------------------------------
class foo():
    def someMethod(self):
        print x

class bar():
    def __init__(self):
        f = foo()
        f.someMethod()

class again():
    def __init__(self):
        f = foo()
        f.someMethod()

bar()
again()
---------------------------------------
