Question

I have a class and in that class I have a function that performs authentication and returns a token.

I would like to store that token in memory for use by other functions in that same class.

How would I do so ?

Answer 1

Presuming a structure like this:

class myClass(object):
  def doAuth(self):
    callAuthProcedure()

if callAuthProcedure returns the token, simply adjust it to do this:

class myClass(object):
  def doAuth(self):
    self.token = callAuthProcedure()

Later, other methods on the instance of the class can use self.token as necessary.
