I don't seem to be able to define multiple versions of __init__ in my matrix
class (ie to initialise either from a list of values or from 2 dimensions
(rows/columns)).
Even if Python couldn't resolve the __init__ to use on the basis of argument
types surely it could do so on the basis of argument numbers???
At any rate - any suggestions how I code this????
Checking the number of arguments ain't all that hard:
class Klass:
def __init__(*args):
self.args = args
if len(self.args) == 1:
# etc.
This feels rather unpythonic, though.
And it won't work, as `self' is not defined. ;)
You're right of course!
Note to self: Must stop shooting from the hip ;)
