Hi Chris
Does it make sense to use former as template to make
singleton from any class as below, so instead of addressing
your second proposal using module name we can directly call
this one supplying class candidate for singleness as argument
to function?
class whatever():
def __init__(self):
self.one = 1
self.zero = 0
def singleton_provider(someclass, x = [None]):
if singleton_provider.__defaults__[0][0] == None:
singleton_provider.__defaults__[0][0] = someclass()
return singleton_provider.__defaults__[0][0]
print(id(singleton_provider(whatever)))
Thanks
Asaf
