Getting a list of classes in the current module/auto introspection

Hi,
I have a following problem. Let's say there is a module which could be
imported or run as __main__. It is going to contain hundreds of classes,
something like that:

import moduleA
from moduleB import *

class A:
pass

class B:
pass

class C:
pass

[...]
I would like to be able to get references (or names) of all of them but
excluding stuff from moduleA and module B. Is there any pythonic/elegant
way to do that?

Thanks, Andy

Any class has a .__module__ attribute giving the name
of the module where the class was defined, so you
need something like

[c for c in globals() if inspect.isclass(c) and c.__module__ ==
"__main__"]
