Two classes problem

[Caleb Hattingh]

Hi

It would help if you could describe the purpose you have in mind for doing  
this.   There is a cute way of doing what you want:

===file: a.py===
# module a.py
test = 'first'
class aclass:
     def __init__(self, mod, value):
         mod.test = value                # Is there another way to refer to  
the module this class sits in?
===end: a.py===

===file: b.py===
# file b.py
import a
x = a.aclass(a,'monkey')
print a.test
===end: b.py===

When you run "b.py", you will see 'monkey' printed.  What we have done  
here is passed the reference to the *module* a to the constructor for  
aclass, and that constructor modified the module variable "test".  This is  
a way to avoid using 'global', or in other words, the namespaces of things  
are still clear (for me anyway).

Cya
