i have a function which is a class method, and i want to test a attribute of the class which may or may not be None, but will exist always.
class classA():
def __init__(self, var1, var2 = None):
self.attribute1 = var1
self.attribute2 = var2
@classmethod
def func(self,x):
if self.attribute2 is None:
do something
i get the error
AttributeError: class classA has no attribute 'attributeB'
when i access the attribute like i showed but if on command line i can see it works,
x = classA()
x.attributeB is None
True
so the test works.
if i remove the @classmethod decorator from func, the problem disapears.
if i leave the @classmethod decorator, it only seems to affect variables which are supplied default values in the super-class's constructor.
whats going on in the above code?
