How to retrieve an attribute from a list of instances properly

Question

I am unsure how to correctly get the attribute from a list of instances. Sorry if this seems simple, I am only a beginner.

class Clown:
    def __init__(self,name,hours,job):
        self.name = name
        self.hours = hours
        self.job = job
        
    def get_job(self):
        return self.job
    
    def change_job(self, new_job):
        self.job = new_job
        

list_of_clowns = [Clown("Tom",3,"puppets"), Clown("Jeff",1,"ballon animals")]

clown1 = Clown("Andy",4,"unicycle")


print(list_of_clowns[0].get_job) #problem

print(clown1.get_job()) #this works and prints "unicycle"

When I use print(list_of_clowns[0].get_job) it gives <bound method Clown.get_job of <__main__.Clown object at 0x000001CE928DE20>> when I want puppets

Answer 1

By printing list_of_clowns[0].get_job you're printing the definition of the method def get_job(self):.

Changing it to list_of_clowns[0].get_job() (note the parentheses), you will execute the method that than will return puppets.
