In this post we’ll see how to pass object of the class as parameter in Python.

Passing object as parameter

In the example there are two classes Person and MyClass, object of class Person is passed as parameter to the method of class MyClass.

class MyClass():
    def my_method(self, obj):
        print('In my_method method of MyClass')
        print("Name:", obj.name)
        print("Age:", obj.age)

from MyClass import MyClass
class Person:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        print('init called')
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def display(self):
        print('in display')
        print("Name-", self.name)
        print("Age-", self.age)
        # object of class MyClass
        obj = MyClass()
        # passing person object to
        # method of MyClass (self = person here)
        obj.my_method(self)

person = Person('John', 40)
person.display()

from MyClass import MyClass

obj = MyClass()

 # passing person object to
 # method of MyClass (self = person here)
 obj.my_method(self)
