How to access outer class attribute from nested class

[Heiko Henkelmann]

Please see the following example. Is there any other way to access
SomeAttribute from the nested class, without having to use the actual
name of the outer class?


class SomeClass:
SomeAttribute = 1

class SomeNestedClass:
SomeOtherAttribute = 2

def SomeNestedClassMethod(cls):
print "%s%s" % (
SomeClass.SomeAttribute
cls.SomeOtherAttribute,
)
SomeNestedClassMethod = classmethod(SomeNestedClassMethod)

Thanx

I use something like:

class SomeClass:
SomeAttribute = 1

class SomeNestedClass:
SomeOtherAttribute = 2
def __init__(self, parent):
self.parent=parent
return

def SomeNestedClassMethod(self):
print "%s-%s" % (
self.parent.SomeAttribute,
self.SomeOtherAttribute)

def __init__(self):
self.SNC=self.SomeNestedClass(self)
return

if __name__=="__main__":
a=SomeClass()
a.SNC.SomeNestedClassMethod()


I pretty much stole this idea from wxWindows.

Sorry for not mentioning this in the first place. I don't want to
instantiate the class. I much rather would to use it like:

SomeClass.SomeNestedClass.SomeNestedClassMethod()

Thanx
