Shortcut for self.class

Sometimes I find myself accessing class members. In one project I even had class definitions inside a class definition.

In such cases I often find mysql typing self.__class__.<member_name> or self.__class__.<contained_class_name>. In about all use cases self.__class__ is more characters than the actual class name, hence using self.__class__ is annoying. However,

I don't want to hardcode the class name inside the class definition,
self.__class__.some_attribute is not (always) the same as using the class name, e.g. MyClass.some_attribute and I want the behaviour of the former

So I was wondering. Is there some shorter notation of self.__class__?

[`type`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#type)`(self)`? – jonrsharpe Oct 08 '19 at 08:58
why don't you do self.cls = self.__class__ in __ init __? – bb1950328 Oct 08 '19 at 10:55
