<p class=MsoNormal>Hey again guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m looking to get an answer about dependency injection
in python classes, what is the best way to deal with this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For instance, in my application I have a configuration bean
which contains all the applications configuration information. Now in one of
other classes I need access to those configuration settings. What I would have
done in my ColdFusion/JAVA type applications is create an instance of the
configuration bean, and then pass that in as an argument to the constructor for
my other class, then have the other class set that as a ‘self’
variable. Then from within my class I can access the configuration details like
self.config.getName() and it would return the name of the application.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>How is this best handled in python, can I still inject dependencies
as a constructor argument like that? If so then is there anything in particular
I need to watch out for that may cause me trouble?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
