I already thought about such a solution, but since my code has to be compatible with python 2.3, i would have to use the connected_to = staticmethod(connected_to) syntax, which bloats the code and makes it quite unreadable. > or just store the names of the classes and do a similar fixup once they > are > all defined: > > class A(object): > connected_to = ['B', 'C'] > <other attributes...> > > for cls in globals().values(): > if (type(cls) is type and > hasattr(cls, 'connected_to')): > cls.connected_to = [globals()[c] for c in cls.connected_to ] This solution seems good to me. It won't work for me as it is, because the structure of the classes is actually a bit more complex, but it pushed me in the right direction.
