I think you're confusing containers with inheritance. > class MountainBuilder(object): > def __init__(self, mountain): > self.mountain = mountain > self.mountain_func <--- what's this? > self.pinetree_func <--- what's this? > > class HillBuilder(MountainBuilder): > def __init__(self, mountain): > OptionLoad.__init__(self, mountain) > self.MountainBuilder.mountain_func There is no MountainBuilder attribute in HillBuilder. Rather, HillBuilder is a refined type of a MountainBuilder, and inherits everything MountainBuilders have, plus what you change or add to that base in HillBuilder. You're treating it like it's a separate class which contains a MountainBuilder object inside it as an attribute. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
