Get the type (Label, Button, etc.) of a kivy widget in python

Question

Is there any way to get the type of a kivy widget in python?

By type I refer to things like Label, Button, TextInput etc.

something like my_widget.type which e.g. allows me to put all TextInputs into one list.

Answer 1

If you have a normal reference to a Widget, you can use:

type(widget)

But if you have a WeakProxy (like the ids dictionary uses), then you need to do:

type(self.ids.widget.__self__)
