Guido's time machine strikes again -- classes can have any number of constructors, and we've had the ability to do this since at least Python 2.2 if not earlier. For example: * dict has the standard constructor dict(...) and an alternate constructor dict.fromkeys(...); * datetime, date and time objects have lots of alternate constructors, such as datetime.fromtimestamp, datetime.now, datetime.combine, datetime.strptime and more. > *Example*: > i want a constructor takes 1 argument and other constructor takes 2 and > another one takes none in the same class. so when i want to create an > object i got a lot of options. > i know i can do it by given a default value to the attribute but it will be > better with multiple constructors And indeed you are correct -- you can already do this, and sometimes it is better with multiple constructors. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
