Re: instance attributes not inherited?

Nothing's wrong with python's oop inheritance, you just need to know that the parent class' __init__ is not automatically called from a subclass' __init__. Just change your code to do that step, and you'll be fine:

class Parent( object ):
    def __init__( self ):
        self.x = 9


class Child( Parent ):
    def __init__( self ):
    super(Child,self).__init__()
       print "Inside Child.__init__()"

How does it help that Parent.__init__ gets called? That call simply
would create a temporary Parent object, right? I don't see how it
should help (even though it *does* indeed work).

Why do we need to pass self along in that call to super()? Shouldn't
the class name be enough for super() to find the right superclass object?
