Hi. So now I have this class that works to allow me to pass in my reg_info struct. However when I try to make it part of my class it gets an error "global name 'self' is not defined. I've never seen this error before. If I comment out the line below 'self.reg_info = reg_info" then the code runs... but I need to add stuff to this class, and so I'm wondering why I can't use 'self' anymore?
from ctypes import Structure, c_byte, c_char class REG_INFO(Structure): _fields_ = [ ('address', c_byte), ('message', c_char * 256) ] class myclass(long): def __new__(class_, init_val, reg_info): print reg_info.message self.reg_info = reg_info # <== Offending line return long.__new__(class_, init_val) # # setup my_reg = REG_INFO() my_reg.address = 0xab my_reg.message = 'hello world' print 'TEST 1' dog = 0x123456789ABCDEF0 print 'type(dog) = %s' % type(dog) print 'dog val = 0x%016X' % dog print 'TEST 2' cat = myclass(0x55, my_reg) print 'cat val = 0x%016X' % cat print 'type(cat) = %s' % type(cat) Thanks!
