I just put in a simple version of mod_instances. mod_instances could
take a function as an argument the napply the function to all
instances, e.g:
def mod_func1(inst):
inst.abc += inst.xyz # or whatever
class Character(object):
instances = []
def __init__(self, name, strength, dexterity, intelligence):
instances.append(self)
# as before ...
def mod_instances(self, mod_func):
for inst in instances:
mod_func(inst)
You can define different mod_func, like mod_func1 to make whatever
changes to the instances.
