I have an object the I would like to use as a base class. Some of the

like to call the base class method and use the return value in the

valuable code in the parent, when I really just need the child to
operate of a results of the parent.
Consider the following two classes;
class Parent(object):
def process(self, value):
retval = "Parent.result('%s')" % value
return retval
class Child(Parent):
def __init__(self):
Parent.__init__(self)
def process(self, value):
retval = "Child.result('%s')" % super(Child, self).process
(value)
return retval
So ....
foo = Child()
print foo.process('the value')
Child.result('Parent.result('the value')')
Try this
class Parent(object):
def process(self, value):
retval = "%s.result('%s')" % (self.__class__.__name__, value)
return retval
class Child(Parent):
def __init__(self):
Parent.__init__(self)
foo = Child()
print foo.process('the value')
Child.result('the value'')
Of course you cannot see the inheritance in the result, but I'm assuming you
wanted only the instance class to be displayed.
