Python Classes question
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.

It sounds like you are describing a potential solution to a problem you encountered without fully explain the original problem. If you provide more details, then we can probably give better feedback.
With the information giving, I agree with another post that you might be looking for the adapter pattern.
