Accessing a method variable from another class

Question

So I've got something that looks like this

class MyClass():
    def someMethod(self):
        sprites = SomeClassInstance()

class MyClass2():
    def someMethod2(self):
         #The answer to the question goes here

Is there a way to access sprites from MyClass2()? And to top it off there is no statement like this

A = MyClass() 

there is only this

A = MyClass().someMethod()

Answer 1

Your sprites variable is local to MyClass.someMethod . Instead, attach it to self to make it accessible from outside the method:

class MyClass():
    def someMethod(self):
        self.sprites = SomeClassInstance()

class MyClass2():
    def someMethod2(self):
         #The answer to the question goes here
         myClass = myClass()
         myClass.someMethod()             
         sprites = myClass.sprites

If you want sprites to be a static variable, define it in the class body:

class MyClass():
    sprites = SomeClassInstance()
    def someMethod(self):
        pass

class MyClass2():
    def someMethod2(self):
         #The answer to the question goes here
         MyClass.sprites

Answer 2

This is quite hacky... but if you just want to get stuff done your way, you can use a global variable:

SPRITES = None

class A(object):
    def setter(self):
        global SPRITES
        SPRITES = "mysprite"

class B(object):
    def getter(self):
        global SPRITES
        print SPRITES

a, b = A(), B()
a.setter()
b.getter()

But of course all instances of A and B will share one variable so this might not be what you want.
