I found there is object() which is a built-in function in Python. *You can find object() in Built-in Functions
And, the documentation says below:
Return a new featureless object. object is a base for all classes. It has methods that are common to all instances of Python classes. This function does not accept any arguments.
As the documentation says, object() can create an object but I don't know how to do it.
My questions:
To create an object with object, just call it: object(). However, it is never (as noted in the comments, it may be sometimes useful, when you need to have a something but you don't care what it is) used as is. object is just the (implicit in Python 3) base class of all classes. It provides basic features, such as allocation and magic methods, that you never directly manipulate in Python.
The naming follows one of Python's catchphrases "everything is an object".
You can create an object with only object() as shown below:
print(type(object()))
Then,the object of object class is created:
<class 'object'>
In addition, you can create and initialize the object of Person class with object() as shown below:
class Person:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
obj = object().__new__(Person) # Creates the object of "Person" class
print(type(obj))
obj.__init__("John") # Initializes the object of "Person" class
print(obj.name)
Then, the object of Person class is created and initialized:
<class '__main__.Person'>
John
my_obj = object()and I don't think it takes any parameters.objectis not a function; it's the root of Python's class hierarchy. (The documentation isn't clear on that point.) (It's possible that once upon a very long time ago, it really was a factory function that returned an instance of the root type, but I don't think that's been true since new-style classes were introduced in Python 2.2.)
