Revision 2. </p> <p>An alternate implementation approach for bound inner classes. For a description of bound inner classes, see this recipe: <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577070-bound-inner-classes/" rel="nofollow">http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577070-bound-inner-classes/</a></p> <p>This recipe works in both Python 2.6 and 3.1.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577070 by <a href="/recipes/users/2467657/">Larry Hastings</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/class_decorator/">class_decorator</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/descriptor/">descriptor</a>). Revision 8. </p> <p>This recipe provides the class decorator <code>BoundInnerClass</code>. The decorator makes inner classes symmetric with method calls. Functions declared inside classes become "methods", and when you call them through an object they automatically get a reference to "self". The <code>BoundInnerClass</code> decorator makes this work for inner classes: an inner class decorated with <code>BoundInnerClass</code> gets a reference to that same (now "outer") object passed in automatically to the inner class's <code>__init__</code>.</p> <p>The recipe works unchanged in Python 2.6 and 3.1, and is licensed using the Zlib license.</p>
