Question

So here is my situation. I have a class ABCAdapter. Here I have declared a bunch of methods and between them I have:

@staticmethod 
def __prepare_param_names(attributes_list, prefix = None):
   ....some processing....

Now from another class, namely FlowService I do:

from tvb.core.adapters.abcadapter import ABCAdapter
...other imports and code...


def prepare_adapter(self, project_id, adapter_module, adapter_name):
     ...some more code here...
     interface = adapter_instance.get_attribute_list()
     interface = ABCAdapter.__prepare_param_names(interface)
     ...some more code here...

Now this fails at the call to the static method with:

     AttributeError: type object 'ABCAdapter' has no attribute '_FlowService__prepare_param_names'

Now I’ve not used static methods so far so what is the trick here?

Answer 1

It looks like the __ (double _) prefix is reserved; changing it to a single _ should do the trick.
