List, I'm new to the list, (somewhat new to python too). My code feels hacky. I'd like to know if there is a more eloquent way (more below). If not, a general thumbs up from more experienced programmers would be great!
Assume I have a dict, 'foo'. I also have my own class, 'Bar', which subclasses (i.e. is a derived class) of a dict. How do I eloquently get foo into an instace of Bar? Example: ### BEGIN CODE: class Bar(dict): pass # Act like a dict for now. foo = {'a': 100, 'b': 200, 'c': 300} # This could be a function return value. myvar = Bar() # The hacky feeling part: for k,v in foo.items(): myvar[k] = v ### END CODE Obviously I can put the dict into an instance variable, but then methods like 'keys()' and such won't work. If that makes any sense...
