How can a function access its own attributes?

Question

is it possible to access the python function object attributes from within the function scope?

e.g. let\'s have

def f():
    return          


        

Answer 1

I doubt this is the best way to accomplish this, but you can access the attributes by using the method's name within the method:

>>> def foo():
...   print foo.x
... 
>>> foo()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "", line 2, in foo
AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'x'
>>> foo.x = 5
>>> foo()
5
