Python从父类继承变量

Question

Sorry if I don't explain it that well but I'll try my best:

So I want to inherit the variables from the Parent class, but I don't want to pass them again when creating an instance of the Child class because I think that is redundant. I just want to use the eye color from the Parent for example. See the example code below for what I mean

This is what works:

class Parent:
    def __init__(self, eye_color, length):
        self.eye_color = str(eye_color)
        self.length = length


class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self, gender, eye_color, length):
        super().__init__(eye_color, length)
        self.gender = str(gender)

x = Parent("Blue", 2)
y = Child("Men", "Blue", 2)

print(x.eye_color, x.length)
print(y.gender, x.length)

This is what I somehow want:

class Parent:
    def __init__(self, eye_color, length):
        self.eye_color = str(eye_color)
        self.length = length


class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self, gender):
        super().__init__(eye_color, length)
        self.gender = str(gender)

x = Parent("Blue", 2)
y = Child("Men")

print(x.length, x.eye_color)
print(y.gender, x.length)

Answer 1

What you ask does not make sense:

class Parent:
    def __init__(self, eye_color, length):
        self.eye_color = str(eye_color)
        self.length = length


class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self, gender):
        super().__init__(eye_color, length)
        self.gender = str(gender)

x = Parent("Blue", 2)
y = Child("Men")

print(x.length, x.eye_color)
print(y.gender, x.length)

In child, the parameters eye_color and length come from nowhere.

rassar example is good if you want to reuse a parent object.

You can also do the following:

class Parent:
    # def __init__(self, eye_color=(default value here), length=(default value here)):
    def __init__(self, eye_color="", length=0):
        self.eye_color = str(eye_color)
        self.length = length

OR

class Parent:
    def __init__(self, eye_color="", length=0):
        self.eye_color = str(eye_color)
        self.length = length

class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self, gender, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.gender = str(gender)

x = Parent("Blue", 2)
y = Child("Men") # Work with first example of Parent
y = Child("Men", eye_color="Blue", length=2) # Work with first
y = Child("Men", "Blue", 2) # Work with second example

print(x.length, x.eye_color)
print(y.gender, y.length)

You could try passing a Parent instance to the Child initializer...That's probably the closest you'll get.

class Parent:
    def __init__(self, eye_color, length):
        self.eye_color = str(eye_color)
        self.length = length


class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self, gender, parent):
        super().__init__(parent.eye_color, parent.length)
        self.gender = str(gender)

x = Parent("Blue", 2)
y = Child("Men", x)

print(x.length, x.eye_color)
print(y.gender, x.length)

Another thing you could do is hold a last_parent variable:

global last_parent

class Parent:
        def __init__(self, eye_color, length):
            self.eye_color = str(eye_color)
            self.length = length
            last_parent = self


class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self, gender):
        super().__init__(last_parent.eye_color, last_parent.length)
        self.gender = str(gender)

x = Parent("Blue", 2)
y = Child("Men")

print(x.length, x.eye_color)
print(y.gender, x.length)
