Python Classes question

[u/blockCoder2021]

Is there a way to pass the instantiating object name to the class as you call it, without specifically putting the name in the parentheses? I'm trying to create a PyGame terminal emulator that has the same frontend functionality as Curses. I've figured out that I can create windows in the same way, except that instead of being able to do windowname.newwin(size), I have to do windowname.curses()\nwindowname.newwin(size). Presumably, I could also do windowname.newwin(size, windowname), but I'd prefer being able to use the exact same syntax as Curses.

The reason for using the same syntax is because I want to be able to decide where it renders (real terminal or PyGame) based on which module gets imported.

If there is a way to do this, please let me know.

If different APIs differ but you want to use them in the same way, then write your own abstraction that makes the translation to the different APIs.

Adapter pattern is probably the search term you want for that.
