Please excuse my ignorance.

I have just quickly learned python, and according to all I have read, a class definition just ends with a blank line.

But in Open Object classes the last line has the name of the class and parenthenses, like (from account_asset.py):



why is this?

using account_move_line()
we are creating object of that class so it will call __init__ of osv.osv and initialize _columns,_defaults,_name,_table etc...
It is necessary.

thanks, I didn't realise you could instantiate an object in python without assigning it to a variable, ie I thought you had to:
x=account_move_line()

So that last line in the class definition isn't actually part of the class definition, technically? It is (again, excuse my newbie ignorance) in the __account_asset__ module namespace and being executed immediately upon import of the module????
