Hey all,
Here's my problem: I have a class that I want to be able to save and and load. But I need the class to be mutable I guess. Check it out:
class Tool:
def __init__(self,name,function):
self.name = name
self.function = function
self.savename = self.name + '.txt'
def save(self):
file = open(self.savename,'wb')
pickle.dump(self,file)
file.close()
def load(self):
print self.savename
file = open(self.savename,'rb')
self = pickle.load(file)
file.close()
def __str__(self):
myT = (self.name,self.function)
s = "Name: %s, Function: %s" %myT
return s
x = Tool("hammer","pounding nails")
x.save()
print x
y = Tool("wrench","tightening")
y.savename = 'hammer.txt'
y.load()
print y
I'd like y to be equal to x after this executes, but print y returns: Name: wrench, Function: tightening
