I want to have a global variable x that can be accessed by multiple object instances:
The module Obj should have something like:
x = 0
class Obj:
def set_x(self):
global x
x = 2
def print_x(self):
print x
...etc.
The other module (ex: main) instantiates the object obj:
obj1 = Obj.Obj()
obj1.set_x()
obj2 = Obj.Obj()
obj2.print_x
this should print 2
I think you're looking for something like static variables (I'm not sure what they're called in Python). Have you tried something like:
class Obj:
x = 0
def set_x(self):
Obj.x = Obj.x + 1
def print_x(self):
print Obj.x
Tests:
>>> obj1 = Obj()
>>> obj1.set_x()
>>> obj1.print_x()
1
>>> obj2 = Obj()
>>> obj2.set_x()
>>> obj2.print_x()
2
>>> obj1.print_x()
2

selfas the first argument. I have edited the code in the question.
