Passing keywords

[Kless]

I've a constructor with several values that must be used by any
functions:

---------------
class foo:

def __init__(self, foo1, foo2, foon):

self.__check(fo o1=foo1, foo2=foo2, foon=foon)
self.__check2(f oo1=foo1, foo2=foo2, foon=foon)

def __check(self, foo1, foo2, foon):
...

def __check2(self, foo1, foo2, foon):
...
---------------

How simplify all that?

I could use the next but I don't think...

---------------
def __check(self, **keywords):
---------------

don't think what?

if you keep using the same variables in all submethods you call from a
method inside the class, why not make them attributes?

otherwise, using the **-form when *calling* the methods might work. you
can use the **-form in the functions to ignore arguments that you're not
interested in.

self.__check(** kwargs)
self.__check2(* *kwargs)

def __check(self, foo1, foo2, **extra):
# use foo1 and foo2 here; ignore the rest

etc.
