Hello. I've been scouring the web looking for something to clear up a
little confusion about the use of "super()" but haven't found anything
that really helps. Here's my simple example:
class Parent:
def __init__(self, filePath):...
class Child(Parent):
def __init__(self, filePath):
super(Child,self).__init__(filePath)
....
As I understand it, "super()" will invoke the initializer of the base
class. There must be something wrong with the above syntax since I'm
getting:
"super(Child,self).__init__(filePath)
TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj"
What have I done wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.
To use super, you must work with descendants of "object".
So, just change your first line to:
class Parent(object):
and you should find your world back in place.
