Variable scopes

[easy]

Let's say there is code like this:

Code: Select all

class MyPlugin(eg.PluginClass):
    def __init__(self):
        self.AddAction(myAction)

    def __start__(self,myPluginVarFromConfigure):
        self.myPluginVarFromConfigure=myPluginVarFromConfigure

class myAction(eg.ActionClass):
    def __call__(self, myActionVarFromConfigure):
        self.myActionVarFromConfigure=myActionVarFromConfigure
        self.other=Other(self)

class myOtherAction(eg.ActionClass):
    def __call__(self, myOtherActionVarFromConfigure):
        self.myOtherActionVarFromConfigure=myOtherActionVarFromConfigure

class Other():
    def __init__(self):
        self.myOtherVar="test"

How does the datatree look like? It may be strange question, but I am already out of good ideas on how to access my data...
If I'd like to access myPluginVarFromConfigure in myAction I'd use self.plugin.myPluginVarFromConfigure. How do I access myPluginVarFromConfigure from within Other?
Is it true, that to access myOtherVar from within myAction I'd use self.other.myOtherVar?
And most important how do I access myOtherActionVarFromConfigure from within myAction?

If I'd like to access myPluginVarFromConfigure in myAction I'd use self.plugin.myPluginVarFromConfigure. How do I access myPluginVarFromConfigure from within Other?

You did it partly right, by giving Other() a "self" as parameter. Other() is a completely free instance of a class, so you have to design yourself some parameter that can be used to access something else. The Other.__init__ is missing such parameter in the definition, so the right way would be:

Code: Select all

class Other:
    def __init__(self, action):
        self.action = action
        self.action.plugin.myPluginVarFromConfigure = "whatever"

class MyAction(eg.ActionClass):
    def __call__(self):
        self.other = Other(self)

Is it true, that to access myOtherVar from within myAction I'd use self.other.myOtherVar?

Yes.

And most important how do I access myOtherActionVarFromConfigure from within myAction?

Ok, this is more complicated and has actually changed some versions ago. I will write some note about it, if the new structure is more fixed. But most developers simply avoid it, by using self.plugin as a container to hold all variables that might need to be accessed by different actions (just like the self.counter example in the tutorial).
