|class Parent(object):
| def __init__(self, name="I am a parent"):
| self.name = name
|
|class Child(Parent):
| def __init__(self, number):
| super(Parent, self).__init__("I am a child")
| self.number = number
|
|# I would like it to produce the following:
|>> c = Child(23)
|>> c.name
|"I am a child"
I don't know the direct answer but the more common way
of doing that in Python is not to use super() but just
call the inherited constructor directly:
Parent.__init__(self,'I am a child')
SO if you just want to fix the itch use that, if you want
to understand super() then that won't help and its over to
someone else! :-)
