I tried that as I understand it. I'm sure I'm making a silly error in all
this. Here is a simple example of what I'm trying:
--- (File super_class.py) ---
class base_class:
def sample():
return "Returned!"
--- (File sub_class.py) ---
import super_class
class derived_class(base_class):
def sample2():
return "Returned Twice!"
--- (End) ---
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/tina/python/test/sub_class.py", line 3, in -toplevel-
class derived_class(base_class):
NameError: name 'base_class' is not defined

news:E6***************@newsread2.news.pas.earthlin k.net... In my program I need derived classes to inherit from the super class.
I can do this but I'd like to split the super class into it's own file.
How do you do this? When I split the code I start getting errors.
The module with the superclass has to be imported before
the subclass is defined.
Be very careful you don't get into an import loop.
That way lies madness.
