“This constructor takes no arguments” error in __init__

Question

I\'m getting an error while running the following code:

class Person:
  def _init_(self, name):
    self.name = name

  def hello(self):
    print \'Initiali         


        

Answer 1

The method should be named __init__ to be a constructor, not _init_. (Note the double underscores.)

If you use single underscores, you merely create a method named _init_, and get a default constructor, which takes no arguments.
