Raw_input...

Jul 19th, 2009

Say I have a variable, 'New', who's value is Raw_input("Enter name: ") How could I take this variable and pass it into a class?

What do you mean 'pass it to a class'? Can you post some code and pin-point your problem please?

You can pass value in as argument.

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
new = raw_input('Enter name: ')
 
class Test(object):
    def __init__(self,value):
        self.value = value
 
x = Test(new)
print x.value
 
'''
output-->
Enter name: hi
hi
'''
new = raw_input('Enter name: ')

class Test(object):
    def __init__(self,value):
        self.value = value

x = Test(new)
print x.value

'''
output-->
Enter name: hi
hi
'''

Not really recommended, since you don't really always want to pause your code but I think you want this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
class Name:
    def __init__(self):
        self.name = raw_input("Name: ")
class Name:
    def __init__(self):
        self.name = raw_input("Name: ")

However, I'd have to agree that snippsat's solution is a better written class, because if neccessary you could use it on names that you don't get through raw_input like...a list! For example:

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#snippseat's class
class Test(object):
    def __init__(self,value):
        self.value = value
 
for name in namelist:
    test = Test(name)
#snippseat's class
class Test(object):
    def __init__(self,value):
        self.value = value

for name in namelist:
    test = Test(name)
