Calling an overridden method, superclass an calls overridden method

Question

This code throws an exception, AttributeError, \"wtf!\", because A.foo() is calling B.foo1(), shouldn\'t it call A.foo1()? Ho

Answer 1

In class A instead of calling self methods you need to call A methods and pass in self manually.

This is not the normal way of doing things -- you should have a really good reason for doing it like this.

class A(object):
    def foo(self):
        print A.foo1(self)

    def foo1(self):
        return "foo"

class B(A):
    def foo1(self):
        raise AttributeError, "wtf!"

    def foo(self):
        raise AttributeError, "wtf!"

    def foo2(self):
        super(B, self).foo()

myB = B()
myB.foo2()
