How to refer to python class variables inside of class but outside of methods?

I have this sample python 3 code:

class C:
    a = lambda x: x+1
    b = lambda y: a(y)*2

The class definition happens without any error. But when I attempt to call a class property b (which in turn tries to access a fellow class property a) I get an error:

C.b(1)

NameError: name 'a' is not defined

How can I reference class variables when defining other class variables?

`b = lambda y: C.a(y)*2` – Stephen Rauch Sep 16 '18 at 23:26
Would C().b(1) work, if there were init? – Evgeny Sep 16 '18 at 23:28
@StephenRauch yup that was it. I was put off from using `C.a()` b/c my IDE kept red-lining it by saying `Undefined variable 'C'`. Thanks! – hazrmard Sep 16 '18 at 23:30
