Re: Difference method vs attribut = function

Ulrich Goebel <ml@fam-goebel.de> wrote or quoted:

a class can have methods, and it can have attributes, which
can hold a function. Both is well known, of course.

  Methods are attributes too:

  Main.py

class c:
    def m():
        pass

print( *( name for name in dir( c )if not name.startswith( '__' )))

  sys.stdout

m

  .

class MyClass:
   def __init__(self):
       functionAttribute = None

  Your local name "functionAttribute" is not an attribute of "MyClass".
 

mc = MyClass()
mc.functionAttribute = function

  Above, you only add an attribute to "mc", not to "MyClass".

By the way: in my usecase I want to pass different functions
to different instances of MyClass.

class MyClass:
    def __init__( self ):
        self.function = None
    def accept( self, function ):
        self.function = function

mc = MyClass()
mc.accept( print )

mc_1 = MyClass()
mc_1.accept( dir )
