Question

def cclass(arg1):
...     if True:
...         class klass (object):
...             print arg1
...             def __init__(self,arg1):
...                 self.arg1=arg1
...             def klassfunc(self):
...                 arg2=self.arg1
...                 print arg2
...     return klass()

This code naturally produces an error message:

>>> test=cclass('astring')
astring
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<interactive input>", line 10, in cclass
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

My question is: how should I pass the functions arg1 on to the class?

Answer 1

Just pass it into the constructor, like you would do for any other python class. 🙂

return klass(arg1)
