List-Elements as instances of a class - BigMan - Mar-25-2017
Hi,
in my Python-Script have a class.
Based on that class, several instances should be generated.
But because I do not know how many instances I need when the code is executed, I want to use a list:
Example, how I thought it could work, but it doesn't:
class addresses():
...
...
...
for i, item in enumerate(address_liste):
address[i] = addresses()
==> I cannot use lists for class-instances??? How to do it right?[/i]

class Address(object):
...
addresses = []
for item in address_list:
addresses.append(Address(item))I'm assuming address_list is a list of data that goes into the Address class on initialization. You can shorten this to a list comprehension:addresses = [Address(item) for item in address_list]

You can. But the problem seems like you're not adding items to the list properly. Use [].append() instead of indexing using an index that's out-of-bounds (which I think is how you add new elements in php).
