hi,
I understand that a @classmethod decorator allows to access a method without
creating the object. For instance
class myCLass(object):
def myMethod(self):
print "hello"
myCLass().myMethod()
myCLass.myMethod() #<< that would give an error because the object is requiered
to do so I create a @classmethod
class myCLass(object):
@classmethod
def myMethod(self):
print "hello"
myCLass.myMethod() # now it works
my question is. What is the advantage? does that make evaluation faster?
I ask all that because I am learning maya api and in an example I got :
mSelectionList = OpenMaya.MSelectionList()
OpenMaya.MGlobal.getActiveSelectionList(mSelectionList)
I am confused because I was able to use the method getActiveSelectionList()
without creating the object MGlobal. I would have wrote
mGlobal = OpenMaya.MGlogal
mGlobal.getActiveSelectionList(mSelectionList)
it is like the method getActiveSelectionList() had somehow @classmethod
do I make any sence?
