Let's say you have some time-consuming work to do when a module/class is first imported. This functionality is dependent on a passed in variable. It only needs to be done when the module/class is loaded. All instances of the class can then use the result.
For instance, I'm using rpy2:
import rpy2.robjects as robjects
PATH_TO_R_SOURCE = ## I need to pass this
robjects.r.source(PATH_TO_R_SOURCE, chdir = True) ## this takes time
class SomeClass:
def __init__(self, aCurve):
self._curve = aCurve
def processCurve(self):
robjects.r['someRFunc'](robjects.FloatVector(self._curve))
Am I stuck creating a module level function that I call to do the work?
import someClass
someClass.sourceRStuff(PATH_TO_R_SOURCE)
x = someClass.SomeClass([1,2,3,4])
etc...
