Question

If I have the following code:

class Foo(object):     bar = 1      def bah(self):         print(bar)              f = Foo() f.bah() 

It complains

NameError: global name ‘bar’ is not defined

How can I access class/static variable bar within method bah?

Answer 1

Instead of bar use self.bar or Foo.bar. Assigning to Foo.bar will create a static variable, and assigning to self.bar will create an instance variable.
