If you have no further need of text, I prefer the second. If you need to
keep text around then use the first one or possibly
class RstManager:
def __init__(self, text):
self.text = text
self.parsed = parseRst(text)
def parseRst(self, text):
parsed = <do stuff to text>
return parsed
which makes the assignment to self.parsed more explicit.
