Question

class Test1:
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = 1

class Test2(Test1):
    # how can I get parent class's self.x ?? 
    # exactly here not def __init__(self) or other methods in Test2..

Please… I spent hours figuring out how to get parent class’ self! and failed..
I need a python expert!

Answer 1

Do you want something like this?

class Test1:
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = 1

class Test2(Test1):
    def __init__(self):
        Test1.__init__(self)
        print self.x

a = Test2()

You can access self.x inside Test2, because the Test2 object has the x attribute. It is created in Test1 initializer.

Edit: After the author explaining my misunderstanding, it is not possible to do what is asked, because x is an instance member, and not a class one. See gecco’s answer.
