Re: Calling global functions from a class?

Robert Dailey wrote:
I have the following python script:

def __normalizePath( path ):
return osp.abspath( osp.normpath( path ) )

class AbsolutePath:
def __init__( self, root="" ):
_root = __normalizePath( root )
When I create an AbsolutePath object, I get the following error:

NameError: global name '_AbsolutePath__normalizePath' is not defined

Is there a reason for this?
the "__" prefix (double underscores) is reserved for private attributes
and methods in a class. it does not work for module-level names.
How can I make this work?
rename the global function.
