Get name of current class?

Question

How do I get the name of the class I am currently in?

Example:

def get_input(class_name):
    [do things]
    return class_name_result

class foo():
    input = get_input([class name goes here])

Due to the nature of the program I am interfacing with (vistrails), I cannot use __init__() to initialize input.

import sys

def class_meta(frame):
    class_context = '__module__' in frame.f_locals
    assert class_context, 'Frame is not a class context'

    module_name = frame.f_locals['__module__']
    class_name = frame.f_code.co_name
    return module_name, class_name

def print_class_path():
    print('%s.%s' % class_meta(sys._getframe(1)))

class MyClass(object):
    print_class_path()
