[Tkinter] How to find what causing AttributeError: '_tkinter.tkapp' ?

[darktitan]

I am getting an error AttributeError: '_tkinter.tkapp' object has no attribute 'file1' and i have no idea how to fix it. Could any one Point me in the right direction or help me out. I marked out in the code whats triggering the error.


The full error msg

Yes, a bit strange? I would add a print instruction in öppna_data_filer to check that it is actually executed:

    def öppna_data_filer(self):
         self.file1 = open('partmärkning.txt', 'wt')
         self.file2 = open('kabelmärking.txt', 'wt')
         print(self.file1)

I think you have a multiple inheritance problem due to

class PageOne(tk.Frame, SampleApp):

inheriting from both tk.Frame and SampleApp
The __init__ of SampleApp is not getting called which in turn means the method oppna_data_filer is not getting called, hence self.file1 attribute is not defined.

    def öppna_data_filer(self):
         self.file1 = open('partmärkning.txt', 'wt')
         self.file2 = open('kabelmärking.txt', 'wt')
         print(self.file1) 

I know that its executed by watching the file getting made.

[Yoriz]

The execution of the files getting made is because the call to

app = SampleApp()

[darktitan]

The execution of the files getting made is because the call to

app = SampleApp()

But shouldent then for examle self.file1.writelines('{}.{}\n'.format(value1, parts+1)) work?

[Yoriz]

No because of the inheritance problem I stated above, the instance of SampleApp has a file1 attribute but the instance of PageOne does not because it has only called the tk.Frame's __init__ and not the SampleApp's __init__.

Ok may i ask how i should do to solve it? because i got minimal knowledge about inheritance etc in python.

[Yoriz]

I see this is a continuation from this post
I suggest that you don't inherit SampleApp but instead pass an instance of SampleApp to PageOne.

This is an example of what you are trying to do

class Frame:
 
    def __init__(self):
        print('Frame')
 
 
class SampleApp:
 
    def __init__(self):
        print('SampleApp')
        self.oppna_data_filer()
        PageOne()
         
    def oppna_data_filer(self):
        self.file1 = 'file1'
 
 
class PageOne(Frame, SampleApp):
 
    def __init__(self):
        Frame.__init__(self)
        print('PageOne')
        print(self.file1)
 
one = SampleApp()

which will give

SampleApp
Frame
PageOne
AttributeError: 'PageOne' object has no attribute 'file1'

This is an example of how it would look passing PageOne the instance of SimpleApp

class Frame:
  
    def __init__(self):
        print('Frame')
  
  
class SampleApp:
  
    def __init__(self):
        print('SampleApp')
        self.oppna_data_filer()
        PageOne(self)
          
    def oppna_data_filer(self):
        self.file1 = 'file1'
  
  
class PageOne(Frame):
  
    def __init__(self, sample_app):
        Frame.__init__(self)
        print('PageOne')
        self.sample_app = sample_app
        print(self.sample_app.file1)
  
one = SampleApp()

which will give

SampleApp
Frame
PageOne
file1
