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.
