self._dir is just an attribute that has previously been set somewhere. For example, like this: class Foo(object): def __init__(self): self._dir = "I'm a fancy value" So without you providing more code I presume you try to subclass something and didn't properly set up the base-class - probably missing a call to the super class' constructor.
