So thanks, all for the help.
Turns out that the solution is simple enough, as are most solutions in
Python:
PHP:
parent::__construct(args)
does translate to the Python:
super(ParentClass, self).__init__(args)
The example, that of referencing an object's creator object (if that's
the technospecificalist terminosity) has to be done by passing a
reference to the creator object to the created object.
So:
class A(object):
def create_child(self):
self.child = B()
self.child.do_stuff(self)
class B(object):
def do_stuff(self, parent):
self.parent = parent
if self.parent.__class__.__name__ == 'A':
print "I'm a child of an A!"
else:
print "Well, I'm a motherless child. Does that mean I can
kill Macbeth?"
(Bonus points for lame, contrived, and sort of offensive Shakespeare
reference)
The project I'm working on is a CSS preprocessor. Watch this space.
It's totally going to be famous.
