I have the following code
class Transcription(object):
WORD = 0
PHONE = 1
STATE = 2
def __init__(self):
self.transcriptions = []
def align_transcription(self,model,target=Transcription.PHONE):
pass
The important part here is that I would like to have a class member as default value for a variable. This however gives the following error:
NameError: name 'Transcription' is not defined
Why is this not possible and what is the right (pythonic) way to do something like this.
