Which more Pythonic - self.__class__ or type(self)?

[Ian Pilcher]

Seems like an FAQ, and I've found a few things on StackOverflow that
discuss the technical differences in edge cases, but I haven't found
anything that talks about which form is considered to be more Pythonic
in those situations where there's no functional difference.

Is there any consensus?
