I have a pretty complicated bit of code that I'm trying to convert to
more clean OOP.
Without getting too heavy into the details I have an object which I am
trying to make available inside another class. The reference to the
object is rather long and convoluted but what I find is that within my
class definition this works:
class Class1:
def __init__(self):
def method1(self):
foo.bar.object
But this tells me "global name foo is not defined":
class Class1:
def __init__(self):
foo.bar.object
Obviously I want the object to be available throughout the class (I left
out the self.object = etc for simplicity).
Perhaps you left out some relevant details.
Any ideas why I can reference foo inside the method but not in __init__?
References inside functions are resolved when the function is called. So
purely from what you have presented above, it would seem that 'foo' is
defined between the call to __init__ and a later call to method1.
