I just noticed some unintended behaviour then tested it in an interpretor (Python 3.5.3):
>>> class SomeClass:
... def __init__(self):
... print("nothing important")
...
>>> a = SomeClass()
nothing important
>>> class SomeOtherClass(SomeClass):
... pass
...
>>> b = SomeOtherClass()
nothing important
>>>
I thought you needed to directly call the parents __init__()
. What is the simplest way to write or instantiate the child class such that it does not run the __init__()
from the parent class?
You can by defining an __init__
method in the child class:
class SomeOtherClass(SomeClass):
def __init__(self):
pass
I want some methods from the parent, just not that the init runs
Then your design is wrong. If you only care about code reuse but not proper subtyping ( as defined by Liskov ), proper designs are either composition/delegation or (probably the best in your case) multiple inheritance with mixin classes:
class CommonMixin():
def method1(self):
pass
def method2(self):
pass
class SomeClass(CommonMixin, SomeBaseClass):
def __init__(self):
print("nothing important")
class SomeOtherClass(CommonMixin, SomeOtherBaseClass):
pass
