I would put the addCustomer method on something other than the customer
object, like the thing you're adding the customer to. Or bettery yet,
you'd probably be just appending the customer. I think for your
specific example, you should handle customer creation stuff (login +
password) in __init__.
class Customer(object):
def __init__(self, login, secret):
self.password = secret
self.login = login
# from Michael's example
def _set_password(self, pw):
self._password = sha1(pw)
def _get_password(self):
return self._password
# other helper functions.
def activate(self):
self.status = 'a'
def inactivate(self):
self.status = 'i'
def annoyOnThePhone(self):
dialAsteriskAndAnnoy(self.phone_number)
def sendMonthlyBill(self):
# stuff
pass
customer = Customer('thelogin', 'thesecret')
store.customers.append(customer)
customer.activate()
