Class constructor throwing attribute error Python -

Class constructor throwing attribute error Python -

here programme structure:

class parent(object): def __init__(self): pass def __post_init_stuff(self): #post initialization stuff class child(parent): def __init__(self): #dostuff self.__post_init_stuff() def otherfunc(classname, args): classname(args) otherfunc(child)

the problem i'm having when otherstuff(child) executes, error:

attributeerror: 'child' object has no attribute '_child__post_init_stuff'

any advice?

names start __ in python protected in c++. name 1 underscore instead or access self._parent__post_init_func, since mangled name within scope. recommend first thing, since ugly , hacky.
