Question

I have someting like this

class A:
  __a = 0
  def __init__(self):
    A.__a = A.__a + 1
  def a(self):
    return A.__a

class B(A):
  def __init__(self):
          


        

Answer 1

There are Python decorators @staticmethod and @classmethod, which you can use to declare a method static or class-related. This should help accessing your class data element:

class MyClass:
     __a = 0

     @staticmethod
     def getA():
         return MyClass.__a

class MyOtherClass:

     def DoSomething(self):
         print MyClass.getA() + 1
