Trying to call an instance method outputs AttributeError: object has no attribute

Question

i'm trying to run a simple python script, but somehow i got this error:

AttributeError: 'Script' object has no attribute 'run'

My code looks like this:

class Script(object):
  def __init__(self, data1, data2, data3):
     self.data1 = data1
     self.data2 = data2
     self.data3 = data3

     def getData1(self):
         return self.data1

     def getData2(self):
         return self.data2

     def getData3(self):
         return self.data3

     def run(self):
         return 'Running successfully'

 script1 = Script('data1', 'data2', 'data3')
 print script1.run()

Would be great if someone can help me :)

Please fix your indentation. It's likely the cause of your problem, but the code in the question just throws an IndentationError. — Aran-Fey

It looks like all your methods are defined inside the __init__ method rather than in the class. De-denting them by 1 level should fix your problem. — Aran-Fey

your run() and other methods() are defined under __init__() identation — nandal

your run() and other methods() are defined under init() identation Try this:-

class Script(object):
    def __init__(self, data1, data2, data3):
        self.data1 = data1
        self.data2 = data2
        self.data3 = data3

    def getData1(self):
        return self.data1

    def getData2(self):
        return self.data2

    def getData3(self):
        return self.data3

    def run(self):
        return 'Running successfully'

script1 = Script('data1', 'data2', 'data3')
print script1.run()

From the way the code is formatted in your question, it seems like all functions getData1, getData2, getData3 and run are closures of the method __init__, not methods of the class themselves. This means that they are not methods of the object instance, and hence not accessible from outside __init__.

You can reformat the code to look like this instead

class Script(object):
    def __init__(self, data1, data2, data3):
        self.data1 = data1
        self.data2 = data2
        self.data3 = data3

    def getData1(self):
        return self.data1

    def getData2(self):
        return self.data2

    def getData3(self):
        return self.data3

    def run(self):
        return 'Running successfully'

script1 = Script('data1', 'data2', 'data3')
print script1.run()

which will make all the functions mentioned above methods of the class.

From the first look, you should fix the indentation on the second line.
