I am in a situation where I have a class Obj which contains many attributes, and also contains logically another object of class Dependent.
This dependent_object, however, also needs to access many fields of the original class, so at the moment we did something like this: class Dependent: def __init__(self, orig): self.orig = orig def using_other_attributes(self): print("Using attr1", self.orig.attr1) class Obj: def __init__(self): self.attr1 = "attr1" self.attr2 = "attr2" self.attr3 = "attr3" self.dependent_object = Dependent(self) But I'm not so sure it's a good idea, it's a bit smelly.. Any other suggestion about how to get a similar result? I could of course passing all the arguments needed to the constructor of Dependent, but it's a bit tedious..
