Hi!
I am new to this list, and maybe this is a stupid question, but I
can't seem to find _any_ kind of answer anywhere.
What I want to do is the following:
I want to insert a class variable into a class upon definition and
actually use it during definition.
Manually, that is possible, e.g.:
class A:
classvar = []
classvar.append(1)
classvar.append(2)
I don't want to explicitly set the variable, though. My idea was to
write the following:
class Meta(type):
def __new__(cls, name, bases, d):
d['classvar'] = []
return type.__new__(cls, name, bases, d)
class Test:
__metaclass__ = Meta
classvar.append(1)
classvar.append(2)
However, Python complains that the variable isn't defined; it can be
found in the class dictionary _after_ definition, though, and then it
can also be used. But where's the conceptual difference (to the manual
approach)?
Thanks in advance,
Ole
