I'm new to Python. In general I manage to understand what is happening when things go wrong. However, the small program I am writing now fails with the following message:
AttributeError: ClassA instance has no attribute '__len__' Following the traceback,I see that the offending line is self.x = arg1 + len(self.y) + 1 Why should this call to the built-in len() fail? In a small test program it works with no problems: class foo: def __init__(self): self.x = 0 self.y = 'y' def fun(self, arg1): self.x = arg1 + len(self.y) + 1 >>> a = foo() >>> a.fun(2) >>> No problems; can you help me make some sense of what is happening?
