Before, the real important thing, it would help to analyze these:
What will happen in this snippet:
class C:
def a(self, a):
print a
def a(self, a, b=None):
print a, b
obj = C()
obj.a(10)
obj.a(10,20)
And in this snippet:
class C:
def a(self, a, b=None):
print a, b
def a(self, a):
print a
obj = C()
obj.a(10)
obj.a(10,20)
You will see that second one fails and the last method in the
definition is taken as the signature all the times. ( I am trying to
find a reference explanation, but i can't get), which also leads to
The real important thing. :)
These are not a good ways of doing in Python. In Python, all member
functions are effectively 'virtual'. The last I saw these kind of
methods were when studying C++ about virtual methods.
You might just want to define a single method with the variable
parameters set to a default, if you want to have any flexibility in
invocation.
