The __name__ attribute of a nested class should be set
to 'outer.inner', both for classic and for new-style
classes. E.g.

>>> class C:
...     class C1: pass
... 
>>> C.C1.__name__
'C.C1'
>>>

user_id=6380

Hm, but should this also be done for functions inside
classes?  E.g.

class C:
 def foo(self): pass

assert C.foo.__name__ == "C.foo"
assert C.__dict__["foo"].__name__ == "C.foo"

And what about classes inside functions?

def f():
  class C: pass
  return C

assert f().__name__ == "f.C"

???

I'm less sure I even want this now, and not at all sure how
to do it any more, so lowering priority.

Any interest for Python 3000 on this? Otherwise we can close it.

I don't think so.  Closing.
