Hi,
I want to reference a class itself in its body:
class SomeElement(object):
def __init__(self, mycontainer):
self.mycontainer=mycontainer
class SomeContainer(object):
a = SomeElement(SomeContainer)
Unfortunatly this does not work since the name SomeContainer is not
definied at class creation time of SomeContainer:
/tmp/python-9309vMe.py in SomeContainer()
4
5 class SomeContainer(object):
----> 6 a = SomeElement(SomeContainer)
7
8
NameError: name 'SomeContainer' is not defined
How to do this?
Unfortunatly the obvious:
class SomeContainer(object):
def __init__(self):
self.a = SomeElement(SomeContainer)
is not possible because of other constraints.
