Trying to understand the wonderful: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-vii-error-handling i found this interesting line:
super(EditProfileForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs).
I suppose that we just call the parent class FlaskForm and the signature of the __init__ of this class is probably sommethnig like __init__(*args,**kwargs) and was wondering what was the purpose of including *args,**kwargs ...
Is this a way to let the users add any extra arguments later after inheriting ?
class EditProfileForm(FlaskForm):
username = StringField('Username', validators=[DataRequired()])
about_me = TextAreaField('About me', validators=[Length(min=0, max=140)])
submit = SubmitField('Submit')
def __init__(self, original_username, *args, **kwargs):
super(EditProfileForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.original_username = original_username
