Hi,
I was trying to get a list of Class Objects.
The Class itself has string fields and a dictionary that is initialized as a part of the "__init__"
No it doesn't. It has a dictionary that is initialised *once*, when the
class is defined. From that point on, every instance just modifies the
same shared dictionary:
class Person(object):
"""__init__() functions as the class constructor"""
personAttrs={"'num1":"","num1":""}
This is a "class attribute", stored in the class itself, and shared
between all instances.
def __init__(self, name=None, job=None, quote=None, num1=None, num2=None):
self.name = name
self.job = job
self.quote = quote
self.personAttrs["num1"]=num1
self.personAttrs["num2"]=num2
This merely modifies the existing class attribute. You want something
like this instead:
class Person(object):
def __init__(self, name=None, job=None, quote=None,
num1=None, num2=None
):
self.name = name
self.job = job
self.quote = quote
self.personAttrs = {'num1': num1, 'num2': num2}
This creates a new dictionary for each Person instance.
But why are you doing it that way? Each Person instance *already* has
its own instance dictionary for storing attributes. You don't need to
manage it yourself -- just use ordinary attributes, exactly as you do
for name, job, and quote.
class Person(object):
def __init__(self, name=None, job=None, quote=None,
num1=None, num2=None
):
self.name = name
self.job = job
self.quote = quote
self.num1 = num1
self.num2 = num2
