who to call a list of method inside the class itself

[maduma]

Hi,

Is the following code is ok. who to call all method.
It is working but the call to m() without a reference to self seems
strange

Thanks for your help

class CustomMethod:
def method1(self):
....
def method2(self):
....
def method3(self):
....

def getAllMethod(self):
return [self.method1, self.method2, self.method3]

def applyAll(self):
for m in self.getAllMethod():
# how to call all methods ?
# is it correct
m()

m()

what happens when you run the code?

The code it is running fine but i just wondering if it's the syntax is
correct (avoid any side effect)

It's the same thing as explicitly calling the three methods from inside
the applyAll method. You'll still get side effects if the methods have
side effects, of course.

self.method1 and friends are "bound methods", that is, callable objects
that are bound to both the object instance (self) and the actual method.
They're no different from the temporary bound methods that are used
to carry out an ordinary method call ("self.method1()" is evaluated as
"tmp = self.method1; tmp()" on the inside, where tmp is an internal
variable)

Ok, so you already know it works - and you want to know why!

class CustomMethod:
def method1(self):
....
def method2(self):
....
def method3(self):
....

def getAllMethod(self):
return [self.method1, self.method2, self.method3]

def applyAll(self):
for m in self.getAllMethod():
# how to call all methods ?
# is it correct
m()

When you write self.method1, you get a "bound method" - it already knows
the instance on which it is called (self, in this case).
When you write CustomMethod.method1, you get an "unbound method" - it is
not bound to any particular instance; you must provide the instance
yourself when calling it.
See "User-defined methods" in http://docs.python.org/ref/types.html - if
you really want to know how this works, read about new-style classes and
the descriptor protocol at http://www.python.org/doc/newstyle/
