I want to pass a class name to a method as a constant.
Example:
def foo(Bar): # ... Eventually, I want to be able to use Bar as a class name in method foo
Is this possible to do?
- Usually there is no need to pass a constant as an argument to a function.Klaus D.– Klaus D.2016-10-26 10:50:25 +00:00Commented Oct 26, 2016 at 10:50
- What you mean by "pass a class name to a method as a constant" ? And also by "use Bar as a class name in method foo" ?Moinuddin Quadri– Moinuddin Quadri2016-10-26 10:59:46 +00:00Commented Oct 26, 2016 at 10:59

Yes, you can pass class as an argument to function. Below is the example to prove it.
class Bar(): @staticmethod # created staticmethod; can be call without creating the object def my_print(): print 'Hello, I am class function' def foo(my_class): my_class().my_print() # call my_print() of the object passed foo(Bar) # Pass class "Bar" as argument to "foo()" # prints: Hello, I am class function answered Oct 26, 2016 at 10:49

Check out this
class Bar(): pass def foo(param): print "class_name is {}".format(param.__name__) #prints class name foo(Bar)
