AttributeError: instance has no attribute, within __init__

I can't seem to figure out where the problem is,

error:

This is driving me batty, both the method call and method are spelled exactly the same and solutions to other peoples problems have been no help.

Solution

  • You have mixed tabs and spaces. Set your editor to show whitespace, and you'll see the problem. Running python with the -tt option can help.
