Question

I want to access an instance var from a class outside the __init__, but I’m getting stuck!

 import sys

class Borg(object):
    __shared_state = {}
    def __init__(self, nombre):
        self.__dict__ = self.__shared_state
        self.nombre = nombre 

        print 'my instance vr::', self.nombre

        # panga = 'pangas'  

    panga = 'pangas'


    print 'te copio con  ' 


    print panga

    #print self.nombre


pingus = Borg('varString')


print pingus.nombre

If I uncomment print self.nombre, I get that “self.nombre is not recognized”?

How do I access this var?

This may work better. You should encapsulate that code in a method, like:

import sys

class Borg(object):
    __shared_state = {}
    def __init__(self, nombre):
        self.__dict__ = self.__shared_state
        self.nombre = nombre 

    def instance_method_1(self):
        print 'my instance vr::', self.nombre
        panga = 'pangas'
        print 'te copio con  ' 
        print panga
        print self.nombre


pingus = Borg('varString')


print pingus.nombre
pingus.instance_method_1()
