It’s probably something very obvious, but I can’t seem to figure it out.
This snippet is from Django’s file based email backend (django.core.mail.backends.filebased.py)
def write_message(self, message):
self.stream.write(message.message().as_bytes() + b"\n")
My question is. How can I find out what class is message an object of?
Context for why:
My code sends emails along various execution paths. I want to leverage Django’s filebased backend, instead of firing live emails during debugging and unit testing (or creating my own file based system). The relevant code has a MIMEMultipart object currently (with utf-8 coded text) that works fine for production. I need to be able to convert that into an object that can be printed legibly by the above snippet.
PS: I come from a C++ background where this would’ve been an easy question to answer.
>Solution :
you can use python’s builtin type function
type(obj)
or if you want to check if it is an instance of a specific object use isinstance function
if isinstance(obj, Obj_Class):
# do something
