A global variable is a variable with global scope, meaning it is visible and accessible throughout the program. The collection of all global variables is known as the global environment or global scope of the program. The variables declared outside the function are, by default, global variables. We use the global keyword before a variable inside a function or method to indicate that we are referring to the global variable rather than creating a new local one. The following is the syntax to declare a global variable inside a function ... Read More

In Python, a class is a collection of objects. It is the blueprint from which objects are being created. It is a logical entity that contains some attributes and methods. Following is an example of a Python class - class Tutorialspoint: print("Welcome to Tutorialspoint.") obj1 = Tutorialspoint() When are Python classes Garbage collected? In Python, the objects are eligible for garbage collection when the reference count of the object is zero. Similarly, the classes are garbage collected when no instances of the class have been created and it is no ... Read More

Yes, it is recommended to define multiple Python classes in a single file. If we define one class per file, we may end up creating a large number of small files, which can be difficult to keep track of. Placing all the interrelated classes in a single file increases the readability of the code. If multiple classes are not interrelated, we can place them in different files (improves maintainability and scalability). What is a Python class? In Python, a class is a collection of objects. It is the blueprint from which objects are being created. It is a logical entity ... Read More

I would recommend generateDS for converting a XSD file to a Python class . In my opinion, it is a good tool for the said purpose.It (generatS) generates the Python class with all methods (setters and getters, export to XML, import from XML). It does a good job and works very well !.

In Python, when a class is derived from more than one super-class or base class, it is known as multiple inheritance. Following is the syntax of multiple inheritance in Python - class Super1: pass class Super2: pass class MultiDerived(Super1, Super2): pass Example ofMultiple Inheritance Let's understand multiple inheritance with the following example. Here, we have created two superclasses or base classes, i.e., Superclass1 and Superclass2, and the derived class is the child class. We then create an object Obj_1 of the child class to call its methods as ... Read More

The object-oriented procedural programming, including the ideas of classes and objects, is well supported by Python. It offers a crystal-clear program structure and simple code modification. The code can be reused and offers many benefits of abstractions, encapsulation, and polymorphism due to the class's shareability. A Python class is a "blueprint" for creating objects in Python is a class. Getting Class name of an instance in Python To determine a Python instance's class name there are two ways − Using the type() function and __name__ function. Using the combination of the __class__ and __name__. A unique built-in variable ... Read More

In OOP languages methods are a piece of code that can perform a specific task to produce a desired output. Methods are created inside classes and are invoked or called by objects of the class. Methods are extremely useful in programming as they provide modularity to code by breaking a complex code into manageable blocks. Methods can function independently of other methods, thus making it easy to check individual functionality within a program. Method chaining in Python Methods chaining is a style of programming in which invoking multiple method calls occurs sequentially. It removes the pain of assigning variables at ... Read More

In Python, the variables that are declared inside the class are known as attributes. These attributes can be accessed and modified by both the class and its objects. Following are the two types of attributes - Class Attributes: The attributes that are defined globally in the class are known as class attributes and can be accessed throughout the class itself and are shared between all class instances. They can be accessed using the class name. Instance Attributes: The attributes that are defined inside the __init__() method are known as instance attributes. ... Read More

A class is a group of items. It is a logical entity with a few unique attributes and methods. For instance, if you have a class for Cricket, it should have an attribute and method like players, tournaments, toss, runs, wickets, matches, etc. Use the keyword ‘class’ to create a class. Example: Following is a simple example of a class − Create the class named ‘Python’ and give it the property a − class Python: a = 36 This article demonstrates the following different ways to dynamically load a Python class. Using getattr() function The named attribute of ... Read More

In this article we are going to discuss how to handle the circular dependency between Python classes. First of all, let us understand what is circular dependency. When two or more modules depend on one another, this is known as a circular dependency. This is because each module is defined in terms of the other module. Following is an example of circular dependency functionE(): functionF() And functionF(): functionE() The code shown above clearly shows a circular dependency. FunctionA() calls functionB(), which depends on it, and functionB() calls functionA().There are some apparent issues ... Read More
