I have gone through these questions,
- Python assigning multiple variables to same value? list behavior
concerned with tuples, I want just variables may be a string, integer or dictionary- More elegant way of declaring multiple variables at the same time
The question has something I want to ask, but the accepted answer is much complex
so what I'm trying to achieve,
I declare variables as follows, and I want to reduce these declarations to as less line of code as possible.
details = None
product_base = None
product_identity = None
category_string = None
store_id = None
image_hash = None
image_link_mask = None
results = None
abort = False
data = {}
What is the simplest, easy to maintain ?
I agree with the other answers but would like to explain the important point here.
None object is singleton object. How many times you assign None object to a variable, same object is used. So
x = None
y = None
is equal to
x = y = None
but you should not do the same thing with any other object in python. For example,
x = {} # each time a dict object is created
y = {}
is not equal to
x = y = {} # same dict object assigned to x ,y. We should not do this.
