Python Variable Declaration

Question

Learning Python, and has some basic doubts.

1. I have seen variable declaration (path here) as

class writer:

    path = ""

sometimes, no explicit declaration but initialize through __init__.

def __init__(self, name):

      self.name = name

I understand the purpose of __init__, but is it advisable to declare a variable in any other functions.

2. How can I create a variable to hold a custom type?

class writer:

    path = "" # string value

    customObj = ??

Answer 1

When you are using Python then you do not need to declare variable because Python does not need any variable to declare and the reason is Python is a dynamically typed language.
