Using pycls and pyfqn

You can use the pyfqn function to get a fully-qualified type name for an object, or you can go the other direction and get the python type from a fully-qualified name.

from pytypewriter import pyfqn, pycls

# Create an object, any object.
s = "I am a string."
# Get its fully-qualified type name (fqn).
fqn = pyfqn(s)
# Let's see what we have.
print(f"The fully-qualified type name is: {fqn}")

# Now let's take the fully-qualified name (fqn) and get the type.
cls = pycls(fqn)
# What's that type?
print(f"The type is: {cls}")

The fully-qualified type name is: builtins.str
The type is: <class 'str'>
