Question

I would like to keep a reference of the objects I’ve created in one script to use them in another script (without using shelve).

I would like something close to :

script 1

class Porsche(Car):
    """ class representing a Porsche """
    def __init__(self, color):      
        self.color = color


class Porsche_Container:
    # objects here 
    return objects

my_Porsche = Porsche(blue)
my_Porsche2 = Porsche(red) 

script2

for object in Porsche_Container:
    print object.color

rgds,

Answer 1

The best way to do this is explicitly to construct the set of objects that you want to access. It is possible to list e.g. all global variables defined in the other script, but not a good idea.

script1

...
porsche_container = { myPorsche1, myPorsche2 }

script 2

import script1
for porsche in script1.porsche_container:
    ...
