'When instantiating a class, are there rules for not using the same name for the instantiated object as for the class itself?
Suppose I have a class in a module:
class c():
some_var = "abc"
def f(self):
print("ok")
In a script, I am importing this class and using it as follows:
from my_module import c
c = c()
c.f() # will print "ok"
print(c.some_var) # will print "abc"
I would be doing this because of:
- readability for the object name; I'm not using the class itself anywhere else, if I have to come up with a different name as the classname itself it would be dubious.
- avoiding global variables (
some_var)
Are there any rules for/against it?
