Python 2.6: Class inside a Class?
class Second:
def __init__(self, data):
self.data = data
class First:
def SecondClass(self, data):
return Second(data)
FirstClass = First()
SecondClass = FirstClass.SecondClass('now you see me')
print SecondClass.data
It sounds like you are talking about aggregation. Each instance of your player
class can contain zero or more instances of Airplane
, which, in turn, can contain zero or more instances of Flight
. You can implement this in Python using the built-in list
type to save you naming variables with numbers.
class Flight(object):
def __init__(self, duration):
self.duration = duration
class Airplane(object):
def __init__(self):
self.flights = []
def add_flight(self, duration):
self.flights.append(Flight(duration))
class Player(object):
def __init__ (self, stock = 0, bank = 200000, fuel = 0, total_pax = 0):
self.stock = stock
self.bank = bank
self.fuel = fuel
self.total_pax = total_pax
self.airplanes = []
def add_planes(self):
self.airplanes.append(Airplane())
if __name__ == '__main__':
player = Player()
player.add_planes()
player.airplanes[0].add_flight(5)
I think you are confusing objects and classes. A class inside a class looks like this:
class Foo(object):
class Bar(object):
pass
>>> foo = Foo()
>>> bar = Foo.Bar()
But it doesn't look to me like that's what you want. Perhaps you are after a simple containment hierarchy:
class Player(object):
def __init__(self, ... airplanes ...) # airplanes is a list of Airplane objects
...
self.airplanes = airplanes
...
class Airplane(object):
def __init__(self, ... flights ...) # flights is a list of Flight objects
...
self.flights = flights
...
class Flight(object):
def __init__(self, ... duration ...)
...
self.duration = duration
...
Then you can build and use the objects thus:
player = Player(...[
Airplane(... [
Flight(...duration=10...),
Flight(...duration=15...),
] ... ),
Airplane(...[
Flight(...duration=20...),
Flight(...duration=11...),
Flight(...duration=25...),
]...),
])
player.airplanes[5].flights[6].duration = 5
