[Tutor] How do you share a method (function) among several objects?

[Jacob S.]

Is it possible to put all of those objects in their own module, having the 
function you describe as a module defined function? For example pseudo 
code....


### Lib.py ###
def function(x):
    return stuff

class C1:
    def __init__(self):
        init stuff
    def funct(self,arg):
        return function(arg)

class C2:
    def __init__(self):
        init stuff for this class
    def clone(self,arg):
        return function(arg)

######################

Usage of this module could be simple enough.

import Lib

a = Lib.C1()
a.funct("a")

b = Lib.C2()
b.clone("a")


The methods defined funct and clone do the same things.
