    <p>I have a code file from the boto framework pasted below, all of the print statements are mine, and the one commented out line is also mine, all else belongs to the attributed author.</p> <p>My question is what is the order in which instantiations and allocations occur in python when instantiating a class? The author's code below is under the assumption that 'DefaultDomainName' will exist when an instance of the class is created (e.g. __init__() is called), but this does not seem to be the case, at least in my testing in python 2.5 on OS X. </p> <p>In the class Manager __init__() method, my print statements show as 'None'. And the print statements in the global function set_domain() further down shows 'None' prior to setting Manager.DefaultDomainName, and shows the expected value of 'test_domain' after the assignment. But when creating an instance of Manager again after calling set_domain(), the __init__() method still shows 'None'.</p> <p>Can anyone help me out, and explain what is going on here. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</p> <pre> <code> # Copyright (c) 2006,2007,2008 Mitch Garnaat http://garnaat.org/ # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a # copy of this software and associated documentation files (the # "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including # without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, dis- # tribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit # persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the fol- # lowing conditions: # # # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included # in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # # THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS # OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABIL- # ITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

    2. CO@Miles +1... The giant copyright block means you have to scroll to even see the code at all and (you'll notice the little CC logo on the bottom of the screen) completely unnecessary. You don't need to post a license (and probably couldn't enforce one either).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
