Why do you write a method that jut returns a variable anyway? Forget that. Python doesn't need getters and setters. > Then within main.py I simply wish to print the value of isCompleted > which I try to do by the following > print 'Magn completed status is',a.isCompleted() > > Which returns the following error: > a.isCompleted() > TypeError: 'int' object is not callable > That is (I think) because you have two things called "isCompleted" in your class: The variable of type int (which BTW had better been of type bool) and the method. As I said, just scrap the method. In Python it's perfectly OK to expose variables in the API. If you still want getters and setters, use look into properties. /W -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
