What I am trying to do, is creating a module, with a class; and a function, which is an interface of that class; and a variable name on-the-fly in this function, which is pointing to an instance of that class. This function and the class itself should be in a separate module, and their usage should be in a different python file.
I think, it's much easier to understand what I am trying to do, when you are looking at my code:
This is the first.py
:
class FirstClass:
def setID(self, _id):
self.id = _id
def func(self):
pass
# An 'interface' for FirstClass
def fst(ID):
globals()['%s' % ID] = FirstClass(ID)
return globals()['%s' % ID]
Now, if I'm calling fst('some_text')
right in first.py
, the result is pretty much what I dreamed of, because later on, any time I write some_text.func()
, it will call the func()
, because some_text
is pointing to an instance of FirstClass
.
But, when the second.py
is something like this:
from first import fst
fst('sample_name')
sample_name.func()
Then the answer from python is going to be like this:
NameError: name 'sample_name' is not defined.
Which is somewhat reasonable.. So my question is: is there a "prettier" method or a completely different one to do this? Or do I have to change something small in my code to get this done?
Thank you!
