[Q]Python Classes

[Siew-Ann Cheong]

Hi,

I am new to Python, but have been working with C/C++ for quite a well.

In C++, I am used to the construct:

class MyClass
{
public:
	MyClass(int data)
	{
		private_data = data;

		MyInitialization();
	}
	void MyInitialization()
	{
		...
	}
private:
	int private_data;
}

However, if I try to do the same thing in python,

class MyClass:
	def __init__(self, data):
		self.private_data = data
		MyInitialization()
	def MyInitialization(self):
		...

I get complaints on MyInitialization().

Is this non-use of member functions within the class definition a Python
feature, or am I just doing it wrong?

Thanks!
