oop - python class variable in static method -

[updated]: full code

i confused pyhton's staticmethods according this (last answer), should work!

getting error:

attributeerror: class myconnection has no attribute 'myuser'

class myconnection:     def __init__(self, hostname, port, user, password):         myhostname = hostname         myport = port         myuser = user         mypassword = password         isisessid = none      @staticmethod     def connect():         my_session = myconnection()          headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'}         headers['authorization'] = 'basic ' + string.strip(             base64.encodestring(myconnection.myuser + ':' + myconnection.mypassword))          body = json.dumps({'username': myconnection.myuser, 'password': myconnection.mypassword,             'services': ['platform', 'namespace']})          uri = '/session/1/session'          connection = httplib.httpsconnection(myconnection.myhostname, myconnection.myport)         connection.connect()          try:             connection.request('post', uri, body, headers)             response = connection.getresponse()             my_session.isisessid = myconnection.extract_session_id(                 response.getheaders())         except exception, e:             print e             connection.close()         except httplib.badstatusline, e:             print e             connection.close()          return my_session 

if attributes going static, don't initialize them in initializer method, declare them outside @ class level, not @ method level.

but why initializing class attributes in initializer? every instance create overwrite values!

i believe you're confusing instance attributes , class attributes used for. why don't try using instance attributes? things considered, having static data not idea. example:

class myconnection:     def __init__(self, hostname, port, user, password):         self.myhostname = hostname         self.myport = port         self.myuser = user         self.mypassword = password     @staticmethod     def connect():         my_session = myconnection()         print my_session.myuser # example
