Child class name in parent class function at run time Python

Question

Is it possible to find out which child class has called the parent class function in the parent class function

class ParentClass:

    def print_child_class_name(self):
        print('how to find print the child class name here')

class ChildClass1(ParentClass):
    pass

class ChildClass2(ParentClass):
   pass

child_1 = ChildClass1()
child_2 = ChildClass2()
child_1.print_child_class_name()
child_2.print_child_class_name()

Answer 1

You'd use: self.__class__.__name__ to retrieve the name of the class of the instance self.

class ParentClass:

    def print_child_class_name(self):
        print(self.__class__.__name__)

class ChildClass1(ParentClass):
    pass

class ChildClass2(ParentClass):
   pass

child_1 = ChildClass1()
child_2 = ChildClass2()
child_1.print_child_class_name() #Prints ChildClass1
child_2.print_child_class_name() # Prints ChildClass2
