How can I make a class that has methods with attributes and other<br>
functions?<br>
I see a lot of code<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm reading the documentation to Redhat's Satellite software which has a<br>
XMLRPC interface and wrote the following code to test the api.<br>
<br>
I would like to extend this code to support methods with methods? I see<br>
this done a lot in python code but I'm not sure how to accomplish<br>
something like this?<br>
<br>
i.e.<br>
<br>
sc = SatelliteConnect()<br>
sc.get_systemlist().get_<u></u>systemid() ?<br>
or<br>
sc.get_systemlist().get_<u></u>running_kernel()<br>
<br>
How does one chain methods and attributes like this with classes?<br>
<br>
</blockquote></div>
[snip]<br>
This:<br>
<br>
sc.get_systemlist().get_<u></u>systemid()<br>
<br>
simply means that the method "get_systemlist" returns an instance of<br>
some class (let's call it "SystemList") which has a method<br>
"get_systemid".<span><font color="#888888"><br>
