Dear group,
I'd have a class defined in one module, which descends from another class
defined in a different module. I'd like the superclass to be able to
access objects defined in the first module (given an instance of the first
class) without importing it. Example of what I'm looking for:
<<<file spam.py>>>
class Spam(object):
def fish(self):
a = self.__module__.Ham()
<<<file eggs.py>>>
import spam
class Eggs(spam.Spam):
pass
class Ham(object):
pass
The above doesn't work because __module__ is a string, not a module object:
>>> import eggs
>>> b = eggs.Eggs()
>>> b.fish()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "spam.py", line 3, in foo
a = self.__module__.Ham()
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'Ham'
(I suppose I could call __import__(self.__module__), but that seems kind
of awkward.)
Is this possible using Python 2.3? Any better ways to accomplish this?
Thanks very much for any help,
Reid
