Let's say I have two classes:
>>> class super:
... def hello(self):
... self.data1 = 'spam'
...
>>> class sub(super):
... def hola(self):
... self.data2 = 'eggs'
...
Now let's look in the classes' namespaces using
__dict__:
>>> sub.__dict__
{'__module__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, 'hola':
<function hola at 0x403954fc>}
>>> super.__dict__
{'__module__': '__main__', 'hello': <function hello at
0x4039548c>, '__doc__': None}
I was first confused why 'hello' did not appear in sub
as well. Then I read about dir():
>>> dir(sub)
['__doc__', '__module__', 'hello', 'hola']
>>> dir(super)
['__doc__', '__module__', 'hello']
The above result makes more sense to me. Why doesn't
__dict__ give the same response as dir()? How come I
don't see super in sub's namespace?
