```python >>> class A: ... def __init__(self): ... pass ... >>> A.__init__ <function A.__init__ at 0x0000026CFC5CCEE0> >>> a = A() >>> a.__init__ <bound method A.__init__ of <__main__.A object at 0x0000026CFC1BB400>> ```
On many books and even the official documents, it seems that many authors prefer to call `__init__` as a "method" rather than a "function". The book PYTHON CRASH COURSE mentioned that "A function that’s part of a class is a method.", however, ` A.__init__` tells that `__init__` is a function... I wonder how can I call `__init__` as? Consider the output above. Maybe both are OK? If you prefer or think that we must use one of the two, please explain the why, I really want to know, thanks! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
