Description
Hello, I am making heavy use of self.parent
in some code I wrote, but:
- searching the docs does not define
parent
- searching the repo for
def parent
does not yield any results - There are a number of red herrings in the search to understand what
self.parent
does and where it is documented because of toy examples in the issues and the docs where we haveclass Child
andClass Parent
where theChild
class has a slot accessed viaself.parent
... this is not theself.parent
that is being heavily used in my Traitlets-based applications... but for the life of me, I cannot remember why I started using it and what the semantics are.
Actually I think I found it : it's defined as "The parent Configurable instance of this object." ... ah I think I know the purpose of this... it's to get at the Application class that is the parent of the Configurable class so that you can access slots within the Application... is that correct?
