ADComputer fails: assert container_object.__class__.__str__ == 'ADContainer' unbound method issue

Asked by Don Gauthier

As I try to use the ADComputer it fails on the assert line: assert container_object.__class__.__str__ == 'ADContainer'.

Here is my code:

import win32api
import pythoncom
import pyad
from pyad import adbase, adobject
from pyad import adquery,aduser,adcontainer,adcomputer
import pdb

dn = pyad.adcontainer.ADContainer.from_dn("CN=Computers,DC=qatest,DC=XXXX,DC=com")

if dn.__class__.__str__ == 'ADContainer':
    print dn.__class__
else:
    print 'DN String is not ADContainer'
    print dn.__class__.__str__

Here is my output:
python test_addcomputer.py
DN String is not ADContainer
<unbound method ADContainer.__str__>

Can you help me out with this?

Thanks, Don

If you are looking to find the name of the class, you should call __name__, not __str__. For instance:

ADComputer.from_cn("mycomputer").__class__.__name__ == 'ADComputer'

However, you can also just check if the classes are equal:

ADComputer.from_cn("mycomputer").__class__ == ADComputer

or use is instance:

isinstance(ADComputer.from_cn("mycomputer"), ADComputer)

I hope this helps. Let me know if I can help further.
