I am having difficulty understanding one thing in Python.I have been coding in Python from a very long time but there's is something that just struck me today which i struggle to understand

So the situation goes like this

I have a mixin and a view

class Mixin:def get_session(self,request,*args,**kwargs):print(self) #should be the instance passedprint(request) #should be the request object passed but it's also an instanceclass View:def get(self,request,*args,**kwargs):self.get_session(self,request,*args,*kwargs)pass

Why is the request argument the instance of the Class View, It should be request.Please help me clarify these concepts.

You're passing self explicitly as the first argument of get_session. That means it goes into the request parameter.

self.get_session(self,request,*args,*kwargs)^               ^        ^^^^^^^^^^
(self)        (request)    (the rest)

I think you mean:

self.get_session(request, *args, **kwargs)
