How to access outer class attribute from nested class

[Larry Bates]

I use something like:

class SomeClass:
    SomeAttribute = 1

    class SomeNestedClass:
        SomeOtherAttribute = 2
        def __init__(self, parent):
            self.parent=parent
            return

        def SomeNestedClassMethod(self):
            print "%s-%s" % (
                self.parent.SomeAttribute,
                self.SomeOtherAttribute)

    def __init__(self):
        self.SNC=self.SomeNestedClass(self)
        return

if __name__=="__main__":
    a=SomeClass()
    a.SNC.SomeNestedClassMethod()


I pretty much stole this idea from wxWindows.
