Hi,
after using Perl for some years for simple scripting tasks, one of my programs
reached a size where an OO design is appropriate. So I rewrote the program
using OO techniques in Perl. Because I am not entirely satisfied with the
implementation, I decided port the program to Python.
The first thing I'd like to sort out are the parameters on class invocation. In
Perl, I did (... for lines left out):
my $page = Show->new(type => $type, id => $id);
package Show;
...
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = { @_ };
...
bless $self, $class;
return $self;
}
making use of the relatively liquid border between hashes (dictionaries) and
arrays (lists).
In Python, I would do:
page = Show(type=type, id=id)
class Show:
def __init__(self, type, id):
self.id = id
self.type = type
...
return self
For two parameters, this is relatively simple. But if I have for example 10
parameters on instantiation, assigning each value the the class object manually
will be really clumsy.
So how can I add the values of all the paramaters to my class instance in one
step?
Thanks in advance,
Jan
