Question

Currently I’m not a python programmer, but I’m giving some maintenance to some python code, and I have what’s more or less the following:

class DerivedThread(threading.Thread):
  def __init__(self):
    threading.Thread.__init__(self)

  def initStuff():
    print "Hello 2"

  def run(self):
    print "Hello 1"
    self.initStuff()
    print "Hello 3"

initStuff does not call print in truth, just set some variables, I’ve added this method for organization, there was only __init__ and run before.

The problem is that, once execution reachs self.initStuff(), I see no messages following anymore, only "Hello 1", I thought it was some problem with calling derived methods with python, but I don’t know what’s happening.

What’s happening?

Answer 1

Oh I got it, I just needed to pass self as argument to initStuff.
