Identify a class via its mesh

So I've been having a problem for a while, I need to identify a class object via the 3D mesh that represents it in the environment.

Example code:

Code:
import viz
import vizact

#Sample Environment
ground = viz.add('tut_ground.wrl')
ground.tag = "You missed clicking on a box."

class exampleObject(object):	#Example class containing a mesh
	def __init__(self,classTag,geometryTag,x,y,z,color):
		self.tag = classTag
		self.model = viz.add('box.wrl')
		self.model.tag = geometryTag
		self.model.setPosition(x,y,z)
		self.model.color(color)
		self.model.setScale(.333,.333,.333)

#Creating some objects
A = exampleObject("classA","geometryA",-.5,1.6,2,viz.RED)
B = exampleObject("classB","geometryB",0,1.6,2,viz.BLUE)
C = exampleObject("classC","geometryC",.5,1.6,2,viz.GREEN)

def clickPick():	#Pick an object
	mesh = viz.pick()
	classObject = mesh  ###This line should be modified###
	print classObject.tag

vizact.onmousedown(viz.MOUSEBUTTON_LEFT, clickPick)	#Pick an object on Left-click

viz.go()


#The problem, how do I go from the mesh to the class object...

#As in what (function) do I need to apply to the [mesh] to return the [class object]
#Example:

def classPick():	#Pick an object, print it's class' tag
	mesh = viz.pick()
	classObject = mesh.(function)()
	print classObject.tag
	
#Should print "classA" rather than "geometryA"
#Should print "classB" rather than "geometryB"
#Should print "classC" rather than "geometryC"
How do I get it to return the class object rather than the geometry?

If you have your exampleObject class inherit from the Vizard node class, then your class instance will be returned from the pick command. I modified your example to show this:
Code:
import viz
import vizact

#Sample Environment
ground = viz.add('tut_ground.wrl')
ground.tag = "You missed clicking on a box."

class exampleObject(viz.VizNode):	#Example class containing a mesh
	def __init__(self,classTag,geometryTag,x,y,z,color):

		model = viz.add('box.wrl')
		viz.VizNode.__init__(self,model.id)

		self.class_tag = classTag
		self.geometry_tag = geometryTag
		self.setPosition(x,y,z)
		self.color(color)
		self.setScale(.333,.333,.333)

	def printTag(self):
		print self.class_tag,self.geometry_tag

#Creating some objects
A = exampleObject("classA","geometryA",-.5,1.6,2,viz.RED)
B = exampleObject("classB","geometryB",0,1.6,2,viz.BLUE)
C = exampleObject("classC","geometryC",.5,1.6,2,viz.GREEN)

def clickPick():	#Pick an object
	mesh = viz.pick()
	if isinstance(mesh,exampleObject):
		mesh.printTag()

vizact.onmousedown(viz.MOUSEBUTTON_LEFT, clickPick)	#Pick an object on Left-click

viz.go()
