I would like to generate a new object each time I import a name from a module, rather than getting the same object each time. For example, currently I might do something like this:
# Module count = 0 def factory(): # Generate a unique object each time this is called global count count += 1 return "Object #%d" % count # Calling module from Module import factory a = factory() # a == "Object #1" b = factory() # b == "Object #2" del factory I'm looking for a way to hide the generation of objects from the caller, so I could do something like this: from Module import factory() as a # a == "Object #1" from Module import factory() as b # b == "Object #2" except of course that syntax is illegal. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
