I am building a class of playlists, which will hold many playlists of the same genre.

class playlist(object):def __init__(self,name):self.name = name

I would like to instantiate them passing the user:

      def hard_rock(self,user):self.user = user#query and retrieve data from music API#return playlistdef pop_rock(self,user):self.user = user#query and retrieve data from music API#return playlist#and so on

create instance:

r = playlist('rock')
r.hard_rock('user1')

is this a logical way of building and instantiating classes?

If I understand correctly, you want playlists and users

class Playlist(object):def __init__(self, name):self.name = nameself.liked_by = list()@classmethoddef get_genre(cls, genre):# this relies on no instance of this classpass# return api data...class User(object):def __init__(self, name):self.name = namedef likes_playlist(self, playlist):playlist.liked_by.append(self.name)

And then, some examples

playlists = list()
hard_rock = Playlist('hard_rock')joe = User('joe')
joe.likes_playlist(hard_rock)playlists.append(hard_rock)
playlists.append(Playlist('pop_rock'))country = Playlist.get_genre('country')
