executing a def from a py file being executed by that file...

[mikemrm]

not sure how i would search something like that up...

Theres this game that im looking at that ive modded a bit, and so theres a core file that import the addon file in that addon file there is the __init__(self, core) making it possible to execute defs inside the core so they do something like this
<core>
class core:
def printHello():
print "Hello Moto"

def importme():
importcode

</core>
<addon>
class Addon:
def __init__(self, core):
self.core = core

def saysomething():
self.core.printHello()
</addon>

and if you executed saysomething it would run printHello

im not sure how they were able to pass the class over to that class as if you were importing it...


i hope this is clear enough, please help.

It would make sense if core.py looked like:

class core:

    def printHello(self):
        print "Hello Moto"

and the script with AddOn (addon.py) looked like:

class AddOn:

    def __init__(self, core):
        self.core = core

    def saySomething(self):
        self.core.printHello()

All you have to do is:

from core import core
from addon import AddOn

# Instantiate AddOn, passing to it an instance of core.
addon_instance = AddOn(core())

# Call saySomething.
addon_instance.saySomething()

That should say "Hello Moto".
