Dear All, I am looking for a way to create a "static object" or a "static class" - terms might be inappropriate - having for instance:
class StaticClass: . . and then staticObject1 = StaticClass() staticObject2 = StaticClass() so that staticObject1 and staticObject2 refers exactly to the same instance of object. In other words, that is a class which would result in only 1 instance always the same no matter how many times I will "instantiate" it. My purpose is to permit this class to initialize a massive amount of data that I need to access from different points of my program without duplicating this data in memory and without loosing time in reloading it each time I need it. I noticed the staticmethods, and the __new__ method which could , but I always get stuck in actually creating static DATA without having global data. Does anyone have a start of a clue to this ? Many thanks in advance Emmanuel. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
