I don't know why I keep getting the error 'str' has not attribute 'message'

Question

from plyer import notifications

class Reminder():
    def __init__(self,message = None):

        if not message:
            message = input("Please enter the message: ")

        self.message = message
        print(self.message)

    def sendNotification(self):
        print(self.message)
        notification.notify(title = "Python reminder", message = self.message, app_name = "Python reminder program",app_icon = "",timeout = 10,ticker = "this is ticker thing")

    def getTime(self):
        pass



Reminder.sendNotification("message")

The error that I am getting is as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:/Users/yomamahahaha/Desktop/oooohackrrr/actual programs/python/Reminders/reminder.py", line 28, in Reminder.sendNotification("kek") File "c:/Users/yomamahahaha/Desktop/oooohackrrr/actual programs/python/Reminders/reminder.py", line 20, in sendNotification print(self.message) AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'message'

Answer 1

You don't create an instance of Reminder

so when you call

Reminder.sendNotification("message")

You're setting 'self' as "message" here: Then calling "message".message , which doesn't exist

def sendNotification(self):
    print(self.message)

I think you mean

myReminder = Reminder("Message")
myReminder.sendNotification()
