Trying to use views in django like I use to used in python

Question

why it does not work ? It suppose to work, in python I can use this like this function, can any one explain me please ?

views:

class MiVista(View):
    def get(self, request, var):
        self.var = 'Hello'
        # <la logica de la vista>
        return HttpResponse(self.var)

one = MiVista()
one.get(222222)

urls:

url(r'^indice/', MiVista.as_view()),

So the functions does not work like function in python using POO ?

Thank you guys!

Yes, they do. But just like any other function in python you need to pass right arguments. In your case get() takes two arguments and you are passing it one. And on top of that you are not passing the second argument in your urls. — Mad Wombat

So as @MadWombat mentioned, you are not passing enough arguments, so you need to pass self, which already passing by calling from instance objects, request(not passing), var(passing). And as you are not providing that you are passing var=2222, python thinks that 2222 is request argument.

So basically you need to create request argument. You can do this with RequestFactory. Like that

from django.test import RequestFactory
from django.views.generic import View


class MiVista(View):
    def get(self, request, var):
        self.var = var
        # <la logica de la vista>
        return HttpResponse(self.var)

rf = RequestFactory()
rf.get('indice/')

one = MiVista.as_view()(rf, var='hello')
