[Tutor] Creating class / OOP structure

[Johan Martinez]

I need help in modifying my program. Right now it looks as follows:


class Filedict():
    def __init__(self, fname):
        self.fname =fname

    def parse(self):
        with open(self.fname, 'r') as f:
            ....
            # some file search and parsing logic
        return parsed_file

    def process(self, parsed_object):
        for k in parsed_obj.keys():
            ....
         return processed_file


I instantiate Filedict and use it as follows:

f = Filedict('sales.txt')
parsed_f = f.parse()
processed_f = f.process(parsed_f)

So I need to pass parsed_f again to the process method. I would like to use
process method directly on initialized object. For example:

f = Filedict('sales.txt')
f.process()

Can someone help me in improving my code?

Should I store parsed_file as an object attribute as follows?

class Filedict():
    def __init__(self, fname):
        self.fname =fname
        self.parsed_file = self.parse()


Any help?
