When *don't* I use 'self' in classes?

I am a bit confused as too when, if ever, it is not appropriate to prepend 'self' to objects in a class. All of the examples of how to use 'self' that I find seem to be short and very simple (as examples tent to be). I appologize if I am asking an ignorant question here, but I want to get off o

Dynamically Changing the Base Class

2008-07-07 Thread Adam C.
We have a situation where we want a Swig-generated Python class to have a different base (not object). It doesn't appear that we can coerce Swig into generating the class we want at present (but we are still enquiring). Is it possible to dynamically change the base class to something else? Initial
