Define a method outside of class definition?

Question

class MyClass:
    def myFunc(self):
        pass

Can I create MyFunc() outside of the class definition, maybe even in another module?

Answer 1

Yes you can definitely have functions outside of a class. Here is a mini example...

def date_parse(date_string):
  return date(date_string)


class MyClass:
   def myFunc(self):
       pass

   def myDateFunc(self, date_string):
      self.date = date_parse(date_string)
