Global Objects...

[KraftDiner]

I have a question..

myGlobalDictionary = dictionary()
class someClass:
def __init__(self):
self.x = 0;
def getValue(self, v)
myGlobalDictionary.getVal(v)
myGlobalDictionary doesn't seem to be visible to my someClass methods.
Why? What should I do?

Specify more clearly what is happening, what you wanted it to do, and
why you think it's wrong? You haven't given enough information.

Is it an oversight that you forgot the ':' on the getValue definition?
You also forgot to do the return. I say the code should look like:

def getValue(self,v) :
return myGlobalDictionary[v]

I am also confused as to what getVal() does.

This works:

>>class dictionary(dict):

.... def getVal(self, key):
.... return self[key]
....

>>myGlobalDictionary = dictionary()

myGlobalDictionary['spam'] = 'eggs'

class someClass:

.... def __init__(self):
.... self.x = 0;
.... def getValue(self, v):
.... return myGlobalDictionary.getVal(v)
....

>>>
mySomeThing = someClass()

print mySomeThing.getValue('spam')

eggs

>>>
