Java converting to Jython-Getting a class object within itself

Question

I am attempting to convert Java code to Jython and am using the apache Log and LogFactory imports. I am attempting to emulate Foo.class in Jython The chunk of code is as follows: in Java

 import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
 import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
 public class MyClass {
 private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(MyClass.class);
 public MyClass(Document dom)
 { //code
 }

How can I emulate this same behavior of MyClass.class in Jython/Python?

• Jakob Bowyer: You do realize you can import java classes in jython right?
• Bggreen: Yes I have the imports, The issue is emulating MyClass.class

Answer 1

To illustrate my comment:

from org.apache.commons.logging import LogFactory
class MyClass(object):
 def __init__(self, dom):
 "code"
log = LogFactory.getLog(MyClass)

Or

MyClass.log = LogFactory.getLog(MyClass)

• Tobias Kienzler: I suspect OP didn't grasp that in jython MyClass corresponds to java's MyClass.class, i.e. there is no .class attribute of a class
