Hello, I have questions about global variables in OOP (in general) and Python (in specific). I understand (I think) that global variables are generally not a good idea. However, if there are variables that need to be accessed by a number of classes that exists in separate namespaces (files), what would be the best way to do this?
So far, I have approached the problem by making the variables attributes of one class and passing instances of the class as variables to the other class' methods. The other way I thought of is to create a separate class that consists of the variables and to use the from <file name> import * in all of the files (namespaces) where it is needed. Is there a better way? Are the two ideas presented above acceptable? If so, is one better than the other from an OOP POV? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
