It works by inspecting and parsing the source code of the module containing the target object, then walking its abstract syntax tree to determine the fully qualified name\u2014for example, 'C.D.g' for a method g inside a nested class D inside class C.\n\nThe package is designed for Python 2.6\u20133.4 codebases that need to introspect nested class and function names before `__qualname__` became standard. It has no runtime dependencies and relies entirely on the `ast` module and source file availability. However, the package has been unmaintained since 2015 and is incompatible with modern Python versions.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2015-04-11, no updates since then) and explicitly targets Python 2.6\u20133.4, all of which are end-of-life. Modern Python has `__qualname__` built-in. Install only if you are maintaining legacy Python 2 code with no path to upgrade and have verified the package works in your specific environment."},"id":"qualname","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/qualname","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/qualname.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/qualname/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-04-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"qualname","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"__qualname__ emulation for older Python versions"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":395769,"position":6979,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.0"}
