Generate a new object each time a name is imported  Steven
D'Aprano steve at Sun Aug 2 09:35:08 CEST 2009  I would like to
generate a new object each time I import a name from a  module,
rather than getting the same object each time. For example,
currently I might do something like this:  # Module count = 0
def factory():     # Generate a unique object each time this is
called     global count     count += 1     return "Object #%d" %
count  # Calling module from Module import factory a = factory()
# a == "Object #1" b = factory()  # b == "Object #2" del factory
I'm looking for a way to hide the generation of objects from the
caller,  so I could do something like this:  from Module import
factory() as a  # a == "Object #1" from Module import factory()
as b  # b == "Object #2"  except of course that syntax is
illegal.   More information about the Python-list mailing list
