Question

Ok so I made a user-defined class:

class Drinker:
        def __init__(self, name, age):
                self.name = name
                self.age = age
        def canYouDrink(self):
                if self.age > 20:
                        print('yes')
                else:
                        print('no')

In my command line window, I did:

from drinker import Drinker
dan = Drinker("Dan", 21)

Then it gave me this object.__new__() takes no parameters error message. Did I define my constructor incorrectly?

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong with your code. Try closing and reopening the interactive session to make sure the module is actually getting reloaded. Failing that, make sure the module is being loaded from the correct place (in case you have more than one copy of drinker.py).
