How to get the concrete class name as a string

Question

I want to avoid calling a lot of isinstance   functions  so I m looking for a way to get the concrete class name for an instance variable as a string   Any ideas

you can also create a dict with the classes themselves as keys, not necessarily the classnames

typefunc={
    int:lambda x: x*2,
    str:lambda s:'(*(%s)*)'%s
}

def transform (param):
    print typefunc[type(param)](param)

transform (1)
>>> 2
transform ("hi")
>>> (*(hi)*)

here typefunc is a dict that maps a function for each type. transform gets that function and applies it to the parameter.

of course, it would be much better to use 'real' OOP
