I'm trying to make some kind of static inheritance happen. The code below prints "nope". I'm not sure how to explain myself but what I want is that class A uses B's method if it exists.
class A(object):
@staticmethod
def test():
print("nope")
@staticmethod
def test2():
__class__.test()
class B(A):
@staticmethod
def test():
print("It Works")
@staticmethod
def run():
__class__.test2()
if __name__ == "__main__":
B.run()
__class__ as a closure reference was never meant to be used as a reference to the current instance type; it'll always refer to the class you defined a method on (e.g. A for A.test2). It is a internal implementation detail used by the super() function. Don't use it here.
Use @classmethod instead;
class A(object):
@classmethod
def test(cls):
print("nope")
@classmethod
def test2(cls):
cls.test()
class B(A):
@classmethod
def test(cls):
print("It Works")
@classmethod
def run(cls):
cls.test2()
if __name__ == "__main__":
B.run()
