Getting from a model to the model type's verbose name

Question

I've got an instance of a model FooBar - how do I get the naturalised type Foo Bar for display to the user, making sure to use the class's verbose_name if one is set in the Meta options. e.g.:

class FooBar(models.Model):
  title = models.CharField(max_length = 100)

  class Meta:
    verbose_name = 'Spaghetti Monster'

How do I get 'Spaghetti Monster' from an instance of a FooBar?

Answer 1

foobar._meta.verbose_name
