Object cannot find its attribute

[colt]

Hello, I have this line of code

print ("Identifier Byte: {}".format(self.identity_byte))

that generates this output:

120
216
169
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "emulator.py", line 19, in <module>
main ()
File "emulator.py", line 16, in main
cpu.process_instructions ()
File "/home/leopoldo/cpu.py", line 17, in process_instructions
instruction.process ()
File "/home/leopoldo/instruction.py", line 14, in process
print ("Identifier Byte: {}".format(self.identity_byte))
AttributeError: 'Instruction' object has no attribute 'identity_byte'

Then I created this self contained example to show it better:

import argparse
from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod

class Instruction (object):
	__metaclass_ = ABCMeta
		
	def __init__ (self,identification_byte):
		identity_byte = identification_byte

	def test (self):
		print ("BOTO")

	@abstractmethod
	def process (self):
		print ("Identifier Byte: {}".format(self.identity_byte))

	@abstractmethod
	def process2 (self):
		print ("Identifier Byte2: ", self.identity_byte)
		

class LDAInstruction (Instruction):
	def process (self):
		super.process ()

	def process2 (self):
		super.process()

HEADER_SIZE = 16
KB_SIZE = 16384

class ROM (object) :
	def __init__ (self, rom_bytes): 
		self.header = rom_bytes [0:HEADER_SIZE]
		self.num_prg_blocks = self.header [4]
		self.data_bytes = rom_bytes [HEADER_SIZE:HEADER_SIZE + (16 + KB_SIZE * self.num_prg_blocks)]
		self.total_size = 16 + KB_SIZE * self.num_prg_blocks

	def get_byte (self, pc):
		return	(self.data_bytes [pc])

from rom import ROM
from instruction import Instruction

class CPU (object):
	def __init__(self, rom_bytes):
		self.registers = []
		self.rom = ROM (rom_bytes)
		self.pc = 0

	def process_instructions (self):
		for byte in self.rom.data_bytes:
			byte = self.rom.get_byte (self.pc)

			self.pc+=1
			print (byte)
			if (byte == 169):
				instruction = Instruction (byte)
				instruction.process ()
				instruction.process2 ()
			if (self.pc == 3):
				break


def main ():

	parser = argparse.ArgumentParser (description='NES EMULATOR'); 
	parser.add_argument ('rom_path',metavar='R',type=str,help='path to the rom')
	args=parser.parse_args()

	with open (args.rom_path, 'rb') as file:
		rom_bytes = file.read ()			

	cpu = CPU(rom_bytes)
	cpu.process_instructions ()

if __name__ == '__main__':
	main () 

I do not know why its complaining about the lack of the 'identity_byte' attribute, which is clearly present. So what I am doing wrong/ Thanks for the support

Looks pretty not present to me. You need to assign to self.identity_byte on line 8.

True. Nonetheless, the problem persists (same error message).

I cannot replicate your problem. I can't run all of your code, since I don't have ROM data or anything. But, if I load your classes and do this:

    instruction = Instruction(b'X')
    instruction.process()
    instruction.process2()

It works fine. Can you simplify your code to a more runnable snippet that replicates your problem?

Note that __metaclass_ on line 5 is missing one underscore

I tried with

instruction = Instruction(b'X')

and received:

File "test.py", line 55
instruction = Instruction (b 'X')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The "^" is showing after the 'X' here, not in the beggining of instruction
and to answer your question, unfortunately I don't. I need the data that it is contained on the file and don't know how to replace it.

Output:
>>> b'X'
'X'
>>> b 'X'
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    b 'X'
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Well, if you can't come up with a smaller version of your code that shows the error, I can't help you.
