I need a Python class that keep tracks of how many times it is instantiated
class, instances, python
Solution
Nope. That's pretty good.
From The Zen of Python: "Simple is better than complex."
That works fine and is clear on what you're doing, don't complicate it. Maybe name it `counter` or something, but other than that you're good to go as far as pythonic goes.
Problem
I need a class that works like this: ``` >>> a=Foo() >>> b=Foo() >>> c=Foo() >>> c.i 3 ``` Here is my try: ``` class Foo(object): i = 0 def __init__(self): Foo.i += 1 ``` It works as required, but I wonder if there is a more pythonic way to do it.
