I have a simple problem that I can solve, but I'd like to find a cleaner way to get to my point. Let me give an example:
class Example(object):
def __init__(self, number):
self.number = number
self.constant = 4.0
def mult(self):
return self.number * self.constant
So, I have a bound method to my class that is called mult. My problem is I would like to get the self.constant out of the __init__ part of the class as it would be independent from any instance of that class. I was thinking about something like:
class Example(object):
constant = 4.0
def __init__(self, number):
self.number = number
def mult(self):
return self.number * constant
which obviously doesn't work. I was reading lately on class methods, which appeared like a good hint, but the problem I get with that is that I can't refer to my self.number in my method.
Anybody with a good idea, beside fixing my mult method to return self.number * 4.0 (my real problem is a bit more complex than that).
