Hi There,
I have an open source program which i am trying to add to.
class classname(membe r,member)
def __init__(self,l ist)
self.__list = list
self.refresh = 360
my question is what is the __ (double underscore) represent, if
anything, in this bliock of assignmeents? I wish to add some more names
but do not know if i need the __ or not?
IE: is there any special significance to the __ in this case.
Cheers

With that kind of credentials, and the fact that you claim you are a

I don't know you have me worried already.
I guess for you I just say RTFM.
If you think that is harsh then don't ask a 2nd grade question yet
claim/pretend to be some sorta system specialists.
You tried searching the archives first I am sure.
Go here http://www.python.org and *read*, come back when you are
really stuck.

P.S. YES the __ matter, they identify special methods ! __init__ is the
class CONSTRUCTOR.

steve,
I stand by what I said.
Teach a man to fish feed him for a lifetime.
Re-read it, memorize it, and keep it near.
I read comp.lang.py for 3 years before I posted anything, and then i
posted an ANSWER!
I don't go around asking dirt simple questions that would be solved
with a quick read of the docs, usenet archives , Google, books that
have been written about Python,etc.... He should have been *reading*
not *posting*.
I can not understand why you have a problem with me pointing out he
should read the documentation. Why do you think RTFM exist, for people
like that, they are a timesink. He can redeem himself if he just goes
and reads a little and comes back looking like he made some effort.
This guy has a 6 mile sig that says he ought to know better. Had he
come with a different sig *maybe* and a question that did not scream
'''HEY I WANT YOU TO ANSWER EVERYTHING FOR ME BECAUSE I CAN NOT EVEN
READ THE BASIC DOCUMENTATION ON MY OWN'''.
Next time, could we try exchanging the body of the message and the
PS? That way you could have omitted the PS when you got half way through
it and realised you were just wasting your time and everyone else's ...
I tell him where he is wrong first then I answer the question, sounds
like *YOU* ....Now I have your attention.
What do you think that post was meant to do? Snap him off at the root?
Make him cry? Maybe it was to nudge him to read the docs, so he can
*learn* on his own.
Next time you could just write my post for me! That way I can only
waste as much time as you deem acceptable! Now that I think about it,
if we just answer every question every poster has about any detail of
Python, then we can all sing along and hold hands, who needs to write
documentation or even books about Python look at all the time we will
save...

Well, actually my point was that if we just save time by not answering
such questions we avoid a reputation for hostility while still
encouraging people to use other resources. But anyway, thanks for saying
"PyCon"!

If I insert an __init__ method in my own class definition, it is incumbent

What is the feeling on using "parent" in a class definition that
class methods can refer to, vs. some other organization ?
Should all relevant objects/vars just be passed into the method as needed?
It seems like including "parent" in the class def is just like a
class variable, which most do not recommend.
An example:

choose one over the other?

I'm new to Python, and OOP. I've read most of Mark Lutz's book and more
online and can write simple modules, but I still don't get when __init__
needs to be used as opposed to creating a class instance by assignment. For
some strange reason the literature seems to take this for granted. I'd
appreciate any pointers or links that can help clarify this.
Thanks

Dear all,
I have encountered this weird problem.
I have a class definition with an __init__ argument 'd'
which defaults to {}. This argument is put in the 'self.d'
attribute at initialization
I create two independent instances of this class; the code
is as follows.
