Hi,
I appreciate everyone's feedback on the topic.
Having reflected on what has been said here, I now realize that
creating more complexity is not the way to go. I would rather favor
something that relies on existing language features, something like
the default keyword argument assignment in functions.
This is probably stupid but as a noob I would have liked something
like:
def __init__( self. = host, self. = port, self. = timeout, message =
"Connected."):
pass
This is probably even more preposterous than @host, @port, but to me
it would make more sense.
I suppose the subject has exhausted itself and I am not going to
follow it up. If anyone is interested in taking it on, then please do.
Best,
coldpizza
