Category: General Group: SQLObject from repository Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Col does not call object's __init__()? Initial Comment: I'm using ver 0.7 (downloaded it from SourceForge, I think) I've had problems creating subclasses of StringCol (my goal is to make the columns able to return GUI components based on their type). My class definitions look like this: class NewChild(StringCol, SomeGUIMixIn): def __init__(...): super(NewChild, self).__init__(...) The problem is: The constructor of SomeGUIMixIn (and its superclasses) are never called by this statement. I've searched the web looking for similar problems, and it seems that this is related to the way super() works with multiple inheritance. In my class declaration, it wold start by calling the constructor of the leftmost superclass (i.e. StringCol), go down it's entire inheritance tree to object, and then proceed to the next superclass in the definition (in this example SomeGUIMixIn) and go down that tree to object. The problem occurs if some superclass forgets to call the one of it's own superclass's constructors. Then the chain is broken, and no more constructors will be called. It seems to me that this is the problem here. I checked the source code availible via the API, and Col, a direct subclass of object, never seems to call object.__init__() (or the equivalent "super(Col, self).__init__()"). This should be easy to fix? (my suspicion is strengthened by the fact that if I reverse the order of the superclasses of NewChild in it's declaration to "class NewChild(SomeGUIMixIn, StringCol)", at least my constructor in SomeGUIMixIn and it's superclasses are called. Please correct me if I'm wrong! I'm not experienced with Python.
