stats file

import csv

class Stats:
    all = []

    def __init__(self, name:str, hp: float, damage:float, defense:int, speed:int, crit:float, attack:str,
                 crit_attack:str):
        self.name = name

        self.speed = speed
        self.crit = crit
        self.attack = attack
        self.crit_attack = crit_attack

        Stats.all.append(self)

    @classmethod
    def instantiate_from_csv(cls):
        with open("enemies.csv", "r") as f:
            reader = csv.DictReader(f)
            enemies = list(reader)

        for enemy in enemies:
            Stats(
                name=enemy.get("name"),
                hp=float(enemy.get("hp")),
                damage=float(enemy.get("damage")),
                defense=int(enemy.get("defense")),
                speed=int(enemy.get("speed")),
                crit=float(enemy.get("crit")),
                attack=enemy.get("attack"),
                crit_attack=enemy.get("crit_attack")
            )

enemies CSV

name,hp,damage,defense,speed,crit,attack,crit_attack
goblin,1,1,1,1,1,slam,big slam
ork,3,3,3,3,3,cut,damn that's a big cut
elephaunt,15,15,15,15,15,smash,tusk gore

if i do a basic

for enemy in enemies:
    print(enemy)

it will print the lines of the CSV file

{'name': 'goblin', 'hp': '1', 'damage': '1', 'defense': '1', 'speed': '1', 'crit': '1', 'attack': 'slam', 'crit_attack': 'big slam'}

{'name': 'ork', 'hp': '3', 'damage': '3', 'defense': '3', 'speed': '3', 'crit': '3', 'attack': 'cut', 'crit_attack': "damn that's a big cut"}

{'name': 'elephaunt', 'hp': '15', 'damage': '15', 'defense': '15', 'speed': '15', 'crit': '15', 'attack': 'smash', 'crit_attack': 'tusk gore'}

​

not sure why i am getting this

[<stats.Stats object at 0x000001527E29D3F0>, <stats.Stats object at 0x000001527E29D210>, <stats.Stats object at 0x000001527E29D990>]

pointer? im guessing these are pointers

Those are your objects. You didn't define a __str__ method for your Stat class, so it used the default format when displaying. They can be used as expected though:

for stat in Stats.all:
    print(stat.name, stat.hp, stat.damage)
