I'm porting some geolocation java code from http://janmatuschek.de/LatitudeLongitudeBoundingCoordinates#Java (shown below) to python. It can be initialized using two functions (fromDegrees or fromRadians). I thought I could do something like class geoLocation: _radLat = 0 _radLong = 0 _degLat = 0 _degLong = 0 def fromDegrees(lat, long): #set _radLat, _radLong, _degLat, _degLong def fromRadians(lat, long): #set _radLat, _radLong, _degLat, _degLong ... But that does not seem optimal since I set the values for _radLat, _radLong, _degLat and _degLong twice. Can I define two init functions? What's the best way to do that? Thanks /** * Represents a point on the surface of a sphere.
