I'm still not understanding why you even have _get_subtype() A couple things to point out ... you are receiving the error because Satchmo is trying to lookup Ring._get_subtype as an attribute ... but you have defined it as a method, which means it should be called as Ring._get_subtype(). If you don't know why you have it in there, then take it out. You should not need it -- particularly when you have no idea why its even in there. Never add a line of code to a project that you don't understand and know why it is there. ;)
So, my suggestion, unless you can explain your reason for having the method there, is to get it out of your Ring class. You're likely getting a max recursion error because you are returning the Ring class in _get_subtype() ... not something you want to do, and further shows that you don't really have a purpose for having it in there. So ... cut it out and then let us know what kind of error you receive with a Traceback. Thanks, Bob On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 4:29 PM, Benjamin Edwards <[email protected] > wrote: > > Hi, sorry!
