Hi, I know there can be only one __init__ method (at least, I think). Often I need an object to be created in different ways, for example passing a string as argument, or an integer, or another object. To achieve this I put the default value of the arguments to None and then I some if...elif inside the __init__.
Is this a good practice? It actually works, but sometimes I think that in this way the __init__ method can become too complicated, for example when an object can be created using more than one argument and in different combinations. Hope my doubt is clear. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
