Self Referencing Class Definition in python
<p>is there any way to reference a class name from within the class declaration? an example follows:</p>

<pre><code>class Plan(SiloBase):
    cost = DataField(int)
    start = DataField(System.DateTime)
    name = DataField(str)
    items = DataCollection(int)
    subPlan = ReferenceField(Plan)
</code></pre>

<p>i've got a metaclass that reads this information and does some setup, and the base class implements some common saving stuff. i would love to be able to create recursive definitions like this, but so far in my experimentation i have been unable to get the effect i desire, usually running into a "Plan is not defined" error. I understand what is happening, the name of the class isn't in scope inside the class.</p>
