How to compare two instances of an object Python?

Question

Attempting to compare two objects' data members; however, the error message has no specific details, which leaves me with little information on how to go about correcting it

class Person: 
  def __init__(self, name, age, id):
    self.name = name
    self.age = age
    self.id = id

  def same_person(Person lhs, Person rhs):
    return lhs.id == rhs.id

person1 = Person("David Joyner", 30, 901234567)
person2 = Person("D. Joyner", 29, 901234567)
person3 = Person("David Joyner", 30, 903987654)
# print calls provided as part of an exercise: not my implementation
print(same_person(person1, person2))
print(same_person(person1, person3))

Answer 1

The other answers are correct and provide the best way to do it, but I realized that you wrote:

print calls provided as part of an exercise: not my implementation

print(same_person(person1, person2))
print(same_person(person1, person3))

The exercise probably wants you to define a function outside the class. You can do that by removing that function from the class and writing it un-indented outside the class (without providing class type too). For example:

class Person: 
    def __init__(self, name, age, id):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age
        self.id = id

def same_person(lhs, rhs):
    return lhs.id == rhs.id

person1 = Person("David Joyner", 30, 901234567)
person2 = Person("D. Joyner", 29, 901234567)
person3 = Person("David Joyner", 30, 903987654)

print(same_person(person1, person2))
print(same_person(person1, person3))
