Hi all,
I defined an object wich describes a video clip, like this
class VideoSegment:
def __init__(self, filename):
# Attributes that have to be present
self.filename = filename
The thing is, I will define an array of these objects for a cache, and
would like to keep that array having less than 1000 elements.
Periodically I will check it, and remove the oldest element.
suppose I have the modification time as an argument.
self.time = os.stat(self.filename).st_mtime
I can define the following for sorting the array:
def __cmp__(self, other):
"""polymorph for comparisons"""
if self.time < other.time:
return -1
elif self.time > other.time:
return 1
else:
return 0
But then I want to test for existance doing
if 'lala.avi' in myarray:
and that has to be done by name. Is there any way this could work? My
current __cmp__ of course treats objects with the same timestamp as
identical objects.
Any comments are greatly appreciates, maybe my OOP is just sloppy...
