Question

When creating a simple object hierarchy in Python, I\'d like to be able to invoke methods of the parent class from a derived class. In Perl and Java, there is a keyword for

In this example cafec_param is a base class (parent class) and abc is a child class. abc calls the AWC method in the base class.

class cafec_param:

    def __init__(self,precip,pe,awc,nmonths):

        self.precip = precip
        self.pe = pe
        self.awc = awc
        self.nmonths = nmonths

    def AWC(self):

        if self.awc<254:
            Ss = self.awc
            Su = 0
            self.Ss=Ss
        else:
            Ss = 254; Su = self.awc-254
            self.Ss=Ss + Su   
        AWC = Ss + Su
        return self.Ss


    def test(self):
        return self.Ss
        #return self.Ss*4

class abc(cafec_param):
    def rr(self):
        return self.AWC()


ee=cafec_param('re',34,56,2)
dd=abc('re',34,56,2)
print(dd.rr())
print(ee.AWC())
print(ee.test())
