My example: class A(object):
def __init__(self, name): self.__name = name def getName(self): return self.__name class B(A): def __init__(self,name=None): super(A,self).__init__() def setName(self, name): self.__name = name if __name__ == '__main__': a = A('class a') print a.getName() b = B('class b') print b.getName() b.setName('class b, reset') print b.getName() I get the following error: mtinky:~ brian$ python teste.py class a Traceback (most recent call last): File "teste.py", line 23, in <module> print b.getName() File "teste.py", line 7, in getName return self.__name AttributeError: 'B' object has no attribute '_A__name' Am I *not* using super() correctly? Also, did I define my the class B constructor correctly? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
