inline a écrit : > Hello! > I want to assign self to object of parent class in constructor,
Isn't it the other way round ?-) > like > > def my_func(): > ... > return ParentClass() > > class MyClass (ParentClass): > def __init__(self): > self = my_func() First point : __init_ is *not* the constructor. It's the initializer. The constructor is named __new__. You'll find more about __new__ here: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2.3/descrintro/#__new__ Second point: 'self' is just an ordinary local variable. So rebinding it has no effect outside the function. > but it not work, because "object not initialized". What i can do? Learn to post a full traceback ?-) (Sorry, just kidding.) FWIW, I don't know which problem you're trying to solve this way, but there may (conditional...) be better solutions. Like using a factory function... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
