Why/how is it possible to add variables like this? I don't understand this mechanism: http://docs.python.org/tut/node11.html#SECTION0011330000000000000000
class Employee: pass john = Employee() # Create an empty employee record # Fill the fields of the record john.name = 'John Doe' john.dept = 'computer lab' john.salary = 1000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, I can't get multiple inheritance to work. Don't mind that the a vegan obviously don't inherit from an animal and a vegetable. I didn't come up with anything better, it is just to learn about inheritance. class Animal(object): def __init__(self, name, weight): self.name = name self.weight = weight def speak(self): print "speak" class Vegetable(object): def __init__(self, name, volume): self.name = name self.volume = volume def split(self): print "tjoff" class Vegan(Animal, Vegetable): #pass def __init__(self, name, attacks): self.name = name self.attacks = attacks >>> Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Python25/Progs/XXXX/Movie.py", line 42, in <module> class ActionComedy(Movie, ActionMovie): TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases Cannot create a consistent method resolution order (MRO) for bases Movie, ActionMovie >>> also, when inheriting, can I inherit __init__() somehow? If I want the same attributes but perhaps some additional methods for example. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
