Hi,
it is possible to define multiple initialization methods so that the
method is used that fits?
I am thinking of something like this:
def __init__(self, par1, par2):
self.init(par1, par2);
def __init__(self, par1):
self.init(par1, None)
def init(self, par1, par2):
...
...
So if the call is with one parameter only the second class is executed
(calling the 'init' method with the second parameter set to 'None' or
whatever. But this example does not work.
How to get it work?

You can do this:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
#args is a tuple of positional args
#kwargs is a dict of named args
print args, kwargs
#real code here instead of lame print statements
try:
self.name = args[0]
except IndexError:
self.name = ''
self.occupation = kwargs.get('occupation', '')
or even better, do this:
def __init__(self, name='', occuaption='', age=0):
#named args with default values
self.name = name
self.occupation = occupation
self.age = age
Based on this, you should have enough information to make your class work.
