assignments of function references - Skaperen - Aug-14-2019

i want to have class attribute names which could otherwise be used as variables be used for function references so i can keep everything for a thread in the same class. since a "def" is like an assignment, too, can i assign to a class attribute like this?

class foo():
    ...
foo.var1 = 0
...
def foo.fun1(bar):
    foo.count += 1
    return bar*bar

i no longer like to just try things to "see if they work" since i have found that modifying the locals() dictionary is an example of something that looks like it might work, but doesn't always do so.

Can you clarify what you want to do ? I do not understand the following:

Quote:i want to have class attribute names which could otherwise be used as variables be used for function references

As for your code, I don't think that the syntax you are using exists in Python. If you want to assign a function to a class attribute, you can do the following:

def myfunc():
    print('my_func')

class foo:
    func = myfunc

foo.func()

Output:
my_func

can i do:

def myfunc():
    print('my_func')

class foo:

foo.func = myfunc

foo.func()

yes, you can

def myfunc():
    print('my_func')


class foo:
    pass


foo.func = staticmethod(myfunc)

foo.func()

But I'm sure that you really don't need that
