How can I programmatically get the fully qualified name of a class from
its class object? (I'm referring to the name that is shown when str()
or repr() is called on the class object.)

Neither the __name__ or __qualname__ class attributes include the
module. For example:

>>> import logging

>>> str(logging.Handler)
"<class 'logging.Handler'>"

>>> logging.Handler.__name__
'Handler'
>>> logging.Handler.__qualname__
'Handler'

How can I programmatically get 'logging.Handler' from the class object?

Classes have a __module__ attribute:

logging.Handler.__module__

'logging'

Not sure why I didn't think to look for such a thing. Looks like it's
as simple as f'{cls.__module__}.{cls.__qualname__}'.

Thanks!
