I had posted this before but all the spam whipped it out... I wanted to know if there's any way to create a method that takes a default parameter, and that parameter's default value is the return value of another method of the same class. For example:
class A: def __init__(self): self.x = 1 def meth1(self): return self.x def meth2(self, arg=meth1()): # The default `arg' should would take thereturn value of meth1() print '"arg" is', arg This obviously doesn't work. I know I could do ... def meth2(self, arg=None): if arg is None: arg = self.meth1() but I'm looking for a more straightforward way. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
