Python calling class methods from external module

Question

I need help please, I have searching but none of the answers I found is working for my problem

I need to set a variable in a class method in another module

(frist.py)

class car(object)
 @staticmethod
 def reg_number(self, regno):
 self.builder.get_object("label1").set_text(regno)
 def __init__(self):
 self.data = Data()
.
.
.
.
if __name__ == "__main__":
 app = car()
 gtk.main()

(second.py)

from first import car
def set_reg_no():
 cr = car()
 cr.reg_number('CVM107')

The call to cr.reg_number('CVM107') is raising an error. I have tried car.reg_number('CVM107'), first.car.reg_number('CVM107') among a lot of other combinations but I keep getting errors

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

Piet

• Ashwini Chaudhary: Post the full traceback in the question body.
• Keith: There is no self in a staticmethod. Please remove the the @staticmethod if you expect to get an instance passed.

Answer 1

You should remove the self argument in the staticmethod: Like this:

>>> class car(object):
... @staticmethod
... def test(str):
... print str
... 
>>> car.test('a')
a
