# Typename
The `typename` module defines a single function also called `typename` which returns the name of the
type of any object as a string.
Its purpose is purely aesthetic, to avoid unsightly constructs such as `type(obj).__name__` or the
ghastly `obj.__class__.__name__`.
# Installation
The `typename` package is available on the Python Package Index (PyPI):
[](https://badge.fury.io/py/typename)
*Typename* should work with any version of Python 3. To install:
With `pip` from PyPI:
pip install typename
# How to use
>>> from typename import typename
>>> x = 5
>>> typename(x)
'int'
