For a plugin mechanism, I'm populating a dict with calls to the implemented plugins.
Consider this: >>> class foo: ... def do(self): ... print 'do foo' ... >>> class bar: ... def do(self): ... print 'do bar' ... >>> list = { 'foo': foo.do(), 'bar': bar.do() } Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: unbound method do() must be called with foo instance as first argument (got nothing instead) === Now I get that I need to instantiate foo and bar first before I can refer to them in the dict. so something like foo_instance = foo() bar_instance = bar() list = { 'foo': foo_instance.do(), 'bar': bar_instance.do() } would probably work. But is that the best/pythonic way to do it? I first implemented "do" as a static method but that seemed... wrong (also because it needs to access some variables from the instance). Any hints would be appreciated, Pete _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
