I'm new in python, and I have this code:
class Daemon():
db = Database()
def __init__(self):
final_folder = ''
How I can change the value of the variable final_folder in the same class but in other function?
I try the code like below but isn't work:
class Daemon():
db = Database()
def __init__(self):
final_folder = ''
def get_mail_body(self, msg):
Daemon.final_folder = 'someotherstring'
You need to refer to it as self.final_folder in __init__, like:
class Daemon():
db = Database()
def __init__(self):
self.final_folder = ''
def get_mail_body(self, msg):
self.final_folder = 'someotherstring'
Then you should be able to do something like:
my_daemon = Daemon()
print(my_daemon.final_folder)
# outputs: ''
my_daemon.get_mail_body('fake message')
print(my_daemon.final_folder)
# outputs: 'someotherstring'
you need to access the variable with self if you are using inside the class. self holds the current object.
Here is the updated code.
def __init__(self):
self.final_folder = ''
def get_mail_body(self)
self.final_folder = 'Hello'
Create the object of the class and access the variable.
final_folderis a local variable that ceases to exist once__init__is done executing. You likely want to use an instance variable, in which case, you need to explicitely useself.final_folder = ''then access it withself.final_folderin other methods.
