Yep, using the staticmethod decorator Note that some code might use the old method of defining a static method, using staticmethod as a function rather than a decorator. This should only be used if you have to support ancient versions of Python (2.2 and 2.3) This is entirely identical to the first example (using @staticmethod), just not using the nice … Read more
Why not just do sudo easy_install pip or if this is for python 2.6 sudo easy_install-2.6 pip? This installs pip using the default python package installer system and saves you the hassle of manual set-up all at the same time. This will allow you to then run the pip command for python package installation as it will be installed with … Read more
It means the value of data is None.
As was stated in the comments to the original post, this seemed to be an issue with the python interpreter I was using for whatever reason, and not something wrong with the python scripts. I switched over from the WinPython bundle to the official python 3.6 from python.org and it worked just fine. thanks for … Read more
FIRST, if you want to be able to access man1.py from man1test.py AND manModules.py from man1.py, you need to properly setup your files as packages and modules. Packages are a way of structuring Python’s module namespace by using “dotted module names”. For example, the module name A.B designates a submodule named B in a package named A. … When importing the package, Python searches through the directories on sys.path looking … Read more

TL;DR: You can’t do relative imports from the file you execute since __main__ module is not a part of a package. Absolute imports – import something available on sys.path Relative imports – import something relative to the current module, must be a part of a package If you’re running both variants in exactly the same way, one of them should work. Here is … Read more
Update: Data Classes With the introduction of Data Classes in Python 3.7 we get very close. The following example is similar to the NamedTuple example below, but the resulting object is mutable and it allows for default values. This plays nicely with the new typing module in case you want to use more specific type annotations. I’ve been waiting desperately for this! If you ask … Read more
The benefits of super() in single-inheritance are minimal — mostly, you don’t have to hard-code the name of the base class into every method that uses its parent methods. However, it’s almost impossible to use multiple-inheritance without super(). This includes common idioms like mixins, interfaces, abstract classes, etc. This extends to code that later extends yours. If somebody … Read more
