would it be possible to use one of an object's methods without
initializing the object?
In other words, if I have:
class Test:
def __init__(self):
print 'init'
def foo(self):
print 'foo'
and I want to use the foo function without hitting the
initialize constructor function.
Is this possible? 3 1835

Yes:
In [214]: class Test:
.....: def foo(self):
.....: print 'foo'
.....:
In [215]: t = Test()
In [216]: t.foo()
foo

Hi,
Yes. It is possible and it is called "class method". That is to say, it
is a method bound to the class, and not to the class instances.
In pragmatic terms, class methods have three differences from instance
methods:
1) You have to declare a classmethod as a classmethod with the
classmethod() function, or the @classmethod decorator.
2) The first argument is not the instance but the class: to mark this
clearly, it is usually named cls, instead of self.
3) Classmethods are called with class objects, which looks like this:
ClassName.class _method_name(.. .).
In your example, this becomes:
class Test(object):
def __init__(self):
print 'init'
@classmethod
def foo(cls):
print 'foo'
Now call foo without instantiating a Test:
Test.foo()

To be complete, you can also define a static method that will not even
be passed the class as argument:
In [217]: class Test(object):
.....: def __init__(self):
.....: print 'init'
.....: @staticmethod
.....: def foo():
.....: print 'foo'
.....:
In [218]: Test.foo()

i am using a mutable default paramater to simulate a static method variable.
i notice that
- assigning to the var inside the method causes it to return to the
default value at each call.
- appending to the var gives the expected behaviour (the value is
preserved to the next call
why is this?

I've hit something of a snag.
Problem:
In a DSP application we have data profiles with a varying number of points.
We have a number of Discrete Fourier transforms that are optimised for a
specific number of points. Currently, any client of these DFT classes must
switch on the number of points in the profile and instanciate the correct
DFT algorithm.

I was under the assumption that if you pass an object as a param to a method
and inside that method this object is changed, the object will stay changed
when returned from the method because the object is a reference type?

Hello. When I consult the ISO C++ standard, I notice that in
paragraph 3.6.2.1, the standard states:
"Objects with static storage duration shall be zero-initialized before
any other initialization takes place."
Does this mean all non-local objects will be zero-initialized before
they are initialized by their initializers(if they have)? For example:
int g_var = 3;
int main() {}

What I like about the C++ object model: that the data portion of the
class
IS the object (dereferencing an object gets you the data of a POD
object).
What I don't like about the C++ object model: that most OO features
are not
available for class object design without loss of POD-ness.
So, I'm more than leaning toward "bad" because of the limitations and
