python 声明一个类_在Python中声明一个带有类实例的类

Maybe the title is a little screwed up but is there a way to make an instance of a class inside the same class in Python?

Something like this:

class Foo:

foo = Foo()

I know that the interpreter says that Foo is not declared but is there a way to achieve this?

Update:

This is what I'm trying to do:

class NPByteRange (Structure):

_fields_ = [ ('offset', int32),

('lenght', uint32),

('next', POINTER(NPByteRange)) ]

解决方案

The interpreter only minds if you try to do it in a context where Foo is not declared. There are contexts where it is. The simplest example is in a method:

>>> class Beer(object):

... def have_another(self):

... return Beer()

...

>>> x=Beer()

>>> x.have_another()

If its important that the object be a property, you can just use the property builtin.

>>> class Beer(object):

... @property

... def another(self):

... return Beer()

...

>>> guinness=Beer()

>>> guinness.another

Finally, if it's truly necessary that it be a class property, well, you can do that, too.
