Python Classes ( AttributeError: '' object has no attribute '')


Having trouble understanding the problem in my code, new to classes (generally python too, so sorry if I name things wrong). I receive this error:

I think my code is too long winded to include in here, so I made a simplified version to test the concept below.

The question is, how can I create a new self object "self4"? Which would then be available to other functions within the class. Currently I get this error.

AttributeError: 'className' object has no attribute 'self4'

class className(object):

   def __init__(self, self1=1,self2=2,self3=3):
        self.self1=self1
        self.self2=self2
        self.self3=self3

   def evaluate(self, self5):
        print className.func1(self) + className.func2(self)
        self.self5=self5
        print className.func1(self)

   def func1(self):
       return self.self1 + self.self5

   def func2(self):
       self.self4 = self.self1+self.self2+self.self3
       return self.self4

filename tester.py

import tester.py

mst=tester.className()

mst.evaluate()

Solution

  • Edit:
    Your code works fine!
    What is the Problem?

    I still think it is better to move self4 into the init!

    Original
    I think the most logical thing would be to define self4 on init:

    class className(object):
        def __init__(self, self1=1, self2=2, self3=3):
            self.self1 = self1
            self.self2 = self2
            self.self3 = self3
            self.self4 = None
    
       #rest of class
