Python question: Calling a class method from within another class

[michalml]

I have the following simple structure:

class main_class(...):
...
	def loadTests(...):

	   string1 = "name_of_class"
	   string2 = "function_in_class"
           string1.string2(p1,p2,...) #wish to do this but doesn't work..

...

class name_of_class

	def function_in_class(self, p1, p2 ,...)
	....
...

Is there any way that, from the class main_class in function loadTests , I can call the function in name_of_class
ie. something like string1.string2 (p1, p2, ....) ? I've seen something similar done before, but can't quite
figure it out. Thanks for your help!

Yep. Pass an instance of the working class to the overseer class (works with classes too, but I like to instanciate outside at pass it in):

class OverSeerClass:
    def __init__(self, workerClassInstance):
        self.worker = workerClassInstance

    def CallWorkerClassFunc(self):
        self.worker.DoWork()


class WorkerClass:
    def DoWork(self):
        print "Working"


w = WorkerClass()

test = OverSeerClass(w)
test.CallWorkerClassFunc()

Please not the [CODE] tags instructions in the "REPLY GUIDELINES" on the right hand side of the page (while replying).
