How can I get the name of the python class?

When I have a foo object, I can get the class object via

str(foo.__class__)

However, I only need the class name (eg "Foo"), the above would give me something like strings

"<class 'my.package.Foo'>"

I know I can get this pretty easily with a regex, but I would like to know if there is a "cleaner" way.

foo .__ class __.__ name__ should give you the result you want.
