RE: [Xotcl] [Fwd: Bug with namespace'd Class?]

because "self" is a command in the xotcl namespace. you will also find that there are others, such a "my"

If you don't import xotcl, you end up with source that looks like this:

::xotcl::Class foo Foo instproc bar {} { puts "[::xotcl::self] is a [::xotcl::my info class]" }

I'd suggest, do something like the following...

package require XOTcl 1.3 namespace eval fooPackage { namespace import ::xotcl::* Class Foo Foo instproc bar {} { puts "[self] is a [my info class]" } }

hope that helps. -- bryan

Why does this not work?

package require XOTcl

::xotcl::Class Foo

Foo instproc bar {} { puts "SELF = [self]" }

Foo foo % Foo foo ::foo % foo bar invalid command name "self"

But, if I "namespace import ::xotcl::*" and make the 

class with just the Class command (not ::xotcl::Class), it works.

Any ideas?
