Hello, I'm new to python, and PythonCard. In the code below, I'm trying to create a member variable (self.currValue) of the class, then just pass it to a simple function (MainOutputRoutine) to increment it. I thought Python "passed by reference" all variables, but the member variable doesn't seem to be incremented. If I make the function just increment the member variable directly, without passing it in, it works fine?
In the code below, "self.currValue" stays at 5, and value evaluates to 1? Any insight would be appreciated... class TestModel(model.Background): def on_initialize(self,event): self.currValue = 5 def on_startBtn_mouseClick(self, event): self.MainOutputRoutine(self.currValue) self.OutputRoutine(self.currValue) def OutputRoutine(self,value): self.components.txtBox1.text = str(value) def MainOutputRoutine(self,value): value = value + 1 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
