Great! Thanks everyone for so many references and comments. Lots of
doubts have been solved.

Singleton implementation problems

[Urizev]

Hi everyone

I have developed the singleton implementation. However I have found a
strange behaviour when using from different files. The code is
attached.

Executing main
new MySet object
No singleton instance
New singleton:
<__main__.Singleton instance at 0x2b98be474a70>
new MySet object
There is a singlenton instance
new Member
new MySet object
No singleton instance
New singleton:

new Member
new MySet object
There is a singlenton instance
new Member
new MySet object
There is a singlenton instance

I do not know why, but it creates two instances of the singleton. Does
anybody know why?

Regards
import myset

class Member:
def __init__ (self):
print "new Member"
self.name = "one member"
instance = myset.MySet ()
instance.add (self)
import member

class MySet:
"""MySet aplication"""

__instance = None

## Singleton instance

## This class implements all methods of MySet
class Singleton:

def __init__(self):
#Set the Glade file
print "New singleton:"
print self
self.members = {}

def add (self, member):
self.members[member.name] = member;



###
#
#  MYSET DELEGATES EVERYTHING IN SINGLETON METHOD
#
###

def __init__( self ):
print "new MySet object"

if MySet.__instance is None:
print "No singleton instance"
MySet.__instance = MySet.Singleton()
else:
print "There is a singlenton instance"
 
self.__dict__['_EventHandler_instance'] = MySet.__instance


def __getattr__(self, aAttr):
return getattr(self.__instance, aAttr) 

 
def __setattr__(self, aAttr, aValue):
return setattr(self.__instance, aAttr, aValue)


###
#
# MAIN CALL
#
###


if __name__ == "__main__":
print "Executing main"
set1 = MySet ()
set2 = MySet ()

mbr1 = member.Member ()
mbr2 = member.Member ()
mbr3 = member.Member ()
