python get class name from object
args, classname, python, string
Solution
I get a tuple instead of a string
No, you get the string `"tuple"` instead of some other string, because `args` is a tuple of arguments.
When you call `version_control(obj, 1, 2)`, `args == (obj, 1, 2)`. You want to be looking at `args[0]`, which in this example is `obj`
Problem
I am trying to return a version number, with a way to implement exceptions. Since the exceptions can be for any of my classes I am trying to get the classname from the object. Problem is, I get a tuple instead of a string: ``` def version_control(*args): version = 1.0 print args #Exception example: print str(args.__class__.__name__) if 'User' == args.__class__.__name__: version = 12.3 return version ``` How can I change the `str(args.__class__.__name__)` in such a way that it return the name of the class as string?
