I can't find any documentation on when exactly a class can reference itself. In the following it will fail. This is because the class has been created but not initialized until after __init__
's first line, correct?
class A(object):
class_var = 'Hi'
def __init__(self, var=A.class_var):
self.var = var
So in the use case where I want to do that is this the best solution:
class A(object):
class_var = 'Hi'
def __init__(self, var=None)
if var is None:
var = A.class_var
self.var = var
Any help or documentation appreciated!
Python scripts are interpreted as you go. So when the interpreter enters __init__()
the class variable A
isn't defined yet (you are inside it), same with self
(that is a different parameter and only available in function body).
However anything in that class is interpreted top to bottom, so class_var
is defined so you can simply use that one.
class A(object):
class_var = 'Hi'
def __init__(self, var=class_var):
self.var = var
but I am not super certain that this will be stable across different interpreters...
