Hello everyone,
I have a class that is dependent on subprocess functionality. I would
like to make it self-contained in the sense that it would import
subprocess if it's not imported yet.
What is the best way to proceed with this?
I see a few possibilities:
1. do a class level import, like:
class TimeSync(object):
import subprocess
2. do an import in init, which is worse bc it's ran every time an
instance is created:
def __init__(self, shiftsec, ntpserver):
import subprocess
Both of those methods have disadvantage in this context, though: they
create 'subprocess' namespace in a class or instance, respectively.
Is there anyway to make it a global import?
Regards,
mk
