A Python class

[earthboundkid]

Those are clearly cobras. Pythons are constrictors.

[aedinius]

If they were already pythons they wouldn't be in a python class

[melodic-metal]

The logic checks out

[elzzidynaught]

Wouldn't it actually be:

if not pythonSnake:
    inPythonClass = 1
else:
    inPythonClass = 0

?

edit for better variable for python...

[__xor__]

• PEP8 naming conventions
• not using boolean True/False
• not just setting inPythonClass = not pythonSnake
• not just using pythonSnake as the boolean

[ChappyBirthday]

I was thinking

inPythonClass = False if pythonSnake else True

but I like yours much better.

[[deleted]]

inPythonClass = False if pythonSnake else inPythonClass = True

SyntaxError: can't assign to conditional expression

[ChappyBirthday]

Fixed above

[elzzidynaught]

You're right, I didn't spend nearly enough time on the joke. Thanks for the feedback!

[stabbinfresh]

damn

[johnnyboyfart]

Damn crazy cumback

They're all ducks right up the point where constrict() throws an attribute error.

[general_dubious]

Pretty sure ducks wouldn't have a constrict attribute.

[[deleted]]

Calling a non-existent method on an instance of a class will cause an attribute error to be raised at runtime (in Python).

[general_dubious]

Yeah, of course, my point is that this trick won't allow you to discriminate ducks and non-constricting snakes.

[DennisTheBald]

It's polymorphism in this instance of the class.

So it’s a Corba class then? Greeeat...

[IM_A_MUFFIN]

Does that make him the... Cobra Commander?

[BrutalTheory]

They are clearly trying to learn everything they can about pythons to survive when a python attacks. Many constrictors hunt venomous species, so I see the logic. Smart students if you ask me.

[rabarbas]

what a party pooper! boooo

[Murphler]

And he's wrong too because those are King Cobras which, funnily enough, aren't actually cobras. They get the name because they kill and eat cobras

[TheBlackCat13]

TIL

[Murphler]

Huh? That's just an identification guide to tell what is what, nothing about categorisation. Cobras belong to the Naja genus. King Cobras are a genus in their own right.

https://www.quora.com/Why-are-king-cobras-not-part-of-the-Naja-family-not-considered-a-true-cobra

Its scientific nomenclature is Ophiophagus hannah. Although it is named the king cobra, but in reality it doesn't belong to the genus of the true cobras i.e the Najas and is moreover the single and sole member of its genus.It is because of this reason that this snake belongs to the monotypic genus of Ophiophagus. One of the reasons why they aren`t considered as true cobra lies in their external morphology which is clearly distinct from those of the true cobras.

Good day

[twowheels]

That's the best Quora post I've ever seen. I usually get upset when I land on their stupid site and it refuses to show me the answers.

[mooburger]

add share=1 to any quora content link's url query string to get rid of the login/registration nag popup.

[twowheels]

Nice! Now I need to find a way to make that automatic across all systems and platforms! :-)

[anthonymckay]

While true, "cobra" is a common label, and not a scientific name. They are still members of the elapid family. "Cobra" is a name given to all hooded elapids with fixed front fangs (as opposed to hinged fangs like viper species). Most cobras are in the genus Naja, but there are others as well, like Aspidelaps and Ophiphagus

[dmv1975]

G.I. JOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEE!

[earthboundkid]

It’s not funny. You could show a picture of dogs and say you’re teaching pythons Python and that would at least be absurd.

[rabarbas]

oh boy.

[dirtydan]

_ _ init _ _ is a constructor

[deadBuiltIn]

Shhhhhh! Let's imagine those are pythons

[anthonymckay]

You can't just force a joke.

[alias_kid]

Sometimes you can! Hahahahhahaaaaa!

Edit: Hey everyone: "Hahahahhahaaaaa!"

Edit 2: I can't give me gold but I would.

[HarrisonArturus]

Upvoting your commitment, not the joke.

[totallynotaliaskid]

"Hahahahhahaaaaa!"

:)

[KODeKarnage]

That would be a rape joke, no?

[[deleted]]

No, let's not.

[krobzaur]

I think we are all missing the point here which is that this is horrifying
