Python: Classes

Create a new file called point.py and add the following code:

point.py

class Point(object):
	"""This Class defines a point object in space"""
	def __init__(self, x = 0, y = 0):
		self.x = x
		self.y = y
 
	def __str__(self):
		return str(self.x + self.y)

In your main script file do the following to create a new object:

from point import Point
 
p = Point()
 
print p

The code tells the intepreter to import the Point class from the module point (the file point.py)

See the chapter about Class Objects on the Python website.
