Call Module in Other Class

Question

So I have a close() method that is called when the user clicks the close button. The close method is as follows:

def close(self):
    ThreadedClient.endApplication()

    root.destroy()

The close() method is inside a GUI() class. The close method needs to call the endApplication() method in the ThreadedClient class. But instead it gives me this error:

TypeError: unbound method endApplication() must be called with ThreadedClient instance as first argument (got nothing instead)

This may be a simple solution, but I just don't know how to fix it. Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

The question you need to be asking is which ThreadedClient needs to have .endApplication() called on it.

Once you have a reference to it (assuming you store a reference in self )

def close(self):
    self.threaded_client.endApplication()
    # ...

Answer 2

Apparently, endApplication() is an instance method, but ThreadedClient is a class . You need to provide it with the actual instance of ThreadedClient that you want to end.

For instance, if somewhere else you created a threaded client with...

foo = ThreadedClient()

then later on you'd need to call...

foo.endApplication()
