I am getting an AttributeError when I am trying to inherit an attribute from parent's class function. Does this mean that I can't inherit it directly from parent's function? This is the output:
AttributeError: 'Two' object has no attribute 'name'
and this is the code itself:
This is the code:
class One:
def ready(self):
self.name = 'John'
class Two(One):
def __init__(self):
print(self.name)
two = Two()
In an instance of the class One the attribute name is only set when self.ready() is called. When you try to print it in Two.__init__ it is not added yet and therefore raises an error. So you would need to use something like:
class One:
def ready(self):
self.name = 'John'
class Two(One):
def __init__(self):
self.ready()
print(self.name)
two = Two()
__init__ of the parent class is not called by default so you would have to call super().__init__()You're getting an attribute error because you're not defining any self.name in class Two. Even though, two is inheriting from One the class instances are different. You could instead try
class Two(One):
def __init__(self):
One.ready(self)
print(self.name)
Try searching what is self, inheritance and constructors in python if you want to get a better idea.
self.ready, I didn't downvote, btw, but I think people will not like that
