I can't find neither in tutorial nor with google It's all about isinstance, or __class__. How to test that an object is an instance of my X class?? Do I have this problems because I stre my objects in a dict?
I wrote a class X like this : class X(object): def __init__(self,name): self.name=name self.val=[] self.description ="class X contains : " def __repr__(self): for i in range(len(self.val)): description+=i return self.description In class Y I create my X objects and put them into a dict print "\nTEST" .for (i,v) in self.mem.items(): print v The objects are printed out the way I specified in __repr__, so I know it's an object of X class. No I want to put in the dict some other objects of class Z,K.... When I get the value fom dict I have to distinguish them somehow to handle them latr in programm. I thouth about isinstanceof - it doesn't work. I did some tests, but I don't understand the answers: Why python claims it's a list, but still print's it like X class #in Y class: print isinstance(v,X) False print v.__class__.__name__ list And adding print in X class i see def __repr__(self): print self.__class__ --> [__main__.Complex Could someone explain this to me? thank you -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
