class get_resource_info():
def __init__(self):
self.color = 'red'
def print(self):
print("hi printing")
print(self.color)
I have the following file test.pyhere:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from get_info import get_resource_info
class test():
def __init__(self):
pass
def test(self):
get_resource_info.print(self)
if __name__ == '__main__':
tes = test()
tes.test()
from above structure, I do not understand the following: when I run test.py - I get the following output:
hi printing
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 17, in <module>
tes.test()
File "./test.py", line 9, in test
get_resource_info.print(self)
File "/get_info/get_resources.py", line 14, in print
print(self.color)
AttributeError: 'test' object has no attribute 'color'
couple of things that are not making sense to me:
- when I call the get_resource_info.print module from get_resource_info object why do i have to pass an argument (self)
- i dont understand why it is complaining that there is no attribute color -- my understanding is, when I call the object get_resource_info, it will first initiate the
__init__module and set its attributes!! , in this case it should have set the attribute color
please let me know what I am understanding wrong here. will appreciate any help I can get.
i have looked at this: Importing class from another file to make __init__.py work
I have also looked at: Python: How to access property from another file ? from file name import class didn't work
and other resources but I am not able to figure it out unfortunately, so please let me know what is going on here!!
