Question

How to access “myvar” from “child” in this code example:

class Parent():
    def __init__(self):
        self.myvar = 1

class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self):
        Parent.__init__(self)

        # this won't work
        Parent.myvar

child = Child()

Answer 1

Parent is a class – blue print not an instance of it,
in OOPS to access attributes of an object it requires instance of the same,
Here self/child is instance while Parent/Child are classes…

see the answer below, may clarify your doubts.

class Parent():
    def __init__(self):
        self.myvar = 1

class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self):
        Parent.__init__(self)

        # here you can access myvar like below.
        print self.myvar

child = Child()
print child.myvar
