How to call a nested function in a class in python

Question

i have a class called animals. inside of the animals class there is a function called printAnimalsNames and inside of printAnimalsNames there is another function called printAnimalsOwner how to call the printAnimalsOwner from printAnimalsNames?

for example:

class animals:
   def printAnimalsNames:
      print("Poo")
      def printAnimalsOwner:
        print("Poo : Jasmin")

how to call printAnimalsOwner from printAnimalsNames ?

You just call it normally after the definition. Not sure if this was intended but def printAnimalsNames is invalid. — Countour-Integral

You can call just like any other method as:

class Animals:
    def printAnimalsNames(self):
        print("Poo")
        x = 10

        def printAnimalsOwner():
            print("Poo : Jasmin")
            print(x)
    
        printAnimalsOwner()
        
animal = Animals()
animal.printAnimalsNames()

However, a note that you can't call it from outside of printAnimalsNames since it is local to that method only.
