Okay I copied this code directly from a book (author Michael Dawson) and it's
not working. I'm sure I've missed something obvious like the spacing or
something but I've been staring at it for 10 minutes and I can't see it. I'll
put the code and error message below. Can someone else spot the problem?
class Critter(object):
"""A virtual pet"""
def ___init___(self, name):
print "A new critter has been born!"
self.name = name
def __str__(self):
rep = "Critter object\n"
rep += "name: " + self.name + "\n"
return rep
def talk(self):
print "Hi, I'm", self.name, "\n"
#main
crit1 = Critter("Poochie")
crit1.talk()
Here's the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python25/attributecrit.py", line 15, in <module>
crit1 = Critter("Poochie")
TypeError: default __new__ takes no parameters
