documentation bug: getting class name fails

[Bruno Chareyre]

In the example code of section [1], class.name fails. I couldn't find the solution myself, still searching...

Another failure in documentation (maybe unrelated, but...)
Vector3 and Quaternion not found:

Only HTML-build is affected, PDF has no such errors.

use Sphere().__class__.__name__

@Vaclav, yes indeed but I'm nearly sure there is another way (like
getClassName, or classIndex, or something), even probably used in some
exemple scripts, but I couldn't find it.

It might have been removed. Those things are in lib/serialization/Serializable.cpp; I grepped the source for getClassName everywhere and it is not exposed to Python. gui/qt4/SerializableEditor.py uses __class__.__name__ everywhere. You can always define an alias by saying "Serializable.name=property(lambda s: s.__class__.__name__)" somewhere at Yade startup, but I don't think it is useful to duplicate the functionality python already has. v.

Fixed following either Vaclav's #3 (thanks) or 'isinstance' (recommended method).
