Re: Two classes problem

You can manage the namespace more formally. Or to put it another way,  
"global" gives me the heebie-jeebies.  I recently worked on a project  
replacing a legacy reactor model in FORTRAN, and between COMMON blocks,  
and GOTO statements, I didn't know up from down.

How about this:
***
class a:
      def __init__(self,test):
             localtest = test
             # do stuff with localtest
      def givetest(self):
             return localtest
      def printtest(self):
             print localtest
test = 'Starting text'
print 'Outside before class: '+test
my_a = a(test)
test = my_a.givetest()
print 'Outside after class: '+test
***
So here we explicitly pass "test" into the class, do stuff with it, and  
rewrite test again with a method.  Does this satisfy the technical problem?

The purpose is, I pass a list to a class in a module but I want to use
that list out of the scope of that class and that too not in any other
class or a function but in the main program...
The problem is that when I import that, the statements in the module
which are not in the class are executed first and then the variable
gets intiallised...
I will explain with the example...
-global test
-
-class a:
-        def __init__(self,test):
-                global test
-                print test
-
-print 'Outside: '+test
I want to print that variable test which I am giving to the class as
an argument, in the scope of main...
I know it is not a good way of programming but my situation is like  
this...
But is this possible or not? If I pass test as 'Garry' can I (by any
way) print 'Outside: Garry' with that print statement... (in the main
scope)

Thanks and Regards,
Garry
