| Jan 23 at 22:33 | comment | added | JimmyJames | @chepner I assume you are talking about calling one classes method but with an object of a different class. The functional-style examples are fine, right? | |
| Jan 23 at 22:30 | comment | added | JimmyJames | @chepner I added a strong warning to the first sentence. Better? | |

| Jan 23 at 22:26 | comment | added | chepner | @JimmyJames You may not have suggested it, but I'm sure someone will try to do it anyway :) My comment is directed towards them. | |
| Jan 23 at 22:23 | comment | added | JimmyJames | @chepner I'm pretty sure I did not suggest anyone should do this. Doing things like this is like cave diving. Not for amateurs. | |

The fact that you can do this in no way suggest you should. As to why it's possible requires an understanding of the descriptor protocol in Python and how it implements foo.set_a(1) as Foo.set_a(foo, 1) (via an intermediate call to Foo.set_a.__get__(foo, Foo)).

| Nov 9, 2023 at 18:44 | comment | added | JimmyJames | @frankfalse I consider this to be intermediate to advanced Python knowledge. The fact that you are even asking suggests you may be underestimating yourself. My opinion is that with Python, you should use module level code as long as it meets your needs and isn't becoming spaghetti code and only introduce classes when they provide a clear benefit. | |

| Nov 9, 2023 at 18:22 | comment | added | User051209 | My real difficult concern on the fact that sometimes I have to avoid to create class in Python and use module because classes are not so needed as for example in Java. | |
| Nov 9, 2023 at 18:20 | comment | added | User051209 | Thank you very much. Your answer with the anwser of Caleth have added much to my my poor knowledge of Python. I agree with you that the use of attribute reference is inside framework or other special cases. | |
