Question

In C# I would go:

string UserName;
string Password;

But now, in Python:

class User:
    UserName
    Password

I receive an error that UserName isn’t defined. Can I not declare a variable without a variable?

Answer 1

In Python, and many other languages, there is a value that means “no value”. In Python, that value is None. So you could do something like this:

class User:
   username = None
   password = None

Those sure sound like instance variables though, and not class variables, so maybe do this:

class User(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.username = None
        self.password = None

Note how Python assigns the None value implicitly from time to time:

def f():
    pass
g = f() # g now has the value of None
