How can I get the class that defined a method in Python?
I'd want the following example to print "__main__.FooClass
":
class FooClass:
def foo_method(self):
print "foo"
class BarClass(FooClass):
pass
bar = BarClass()
print get_class_that_defined_method(bar.foo_method)
import inspect
def get_class_that_defined_method(meth):
for cls in inspect.getmro(meth.im_class):
if meth.__name__ in cls.__dict__:
return cls
return None
