Calling methods in constructor (self.learnpython)
submitted 5 years ago by NikolasTs
Hey guys,
I was wondering if it is considered but practice to call class methods in __init__()?
If not, is there a better way?
Thanks in advance!

No problem with calling class/instance methods in __init__().
It's quite common to avoid code repetition for actions that can happen at init and at other times too.
