[Python-ideas] Changing str(someclass) to return only the class name

[Bruce Leban]

One advantage of the way it works now is that if you have a class, function
or module when you're not expecting it, print tells you what's going on.
Compare these:

>>> print('9'.isdigit)
isdigit


vs

>>> print('9'.isdigit)
<built-in method isdigit of str object at 0x01D5A038>
