[x3d-public] Question about a Python and x3d.py Error message

Apparently, I’m a bit out of my depth when it comes to multi class inheritance. Not really a good tutorial out there for mixing inheritance from Maya python classes and other classes. I’m getting another error now.
“'X3DScene' object has no attribute '_Scene__children'”

Looking up similar errors in Google basically tells me I’m not calling the inherited classes __init__ methods.

I’ll have to do some more digging.

self is the first parameter to instance methods.  I don’t know about class methods.  My guess is you might want instance methods, but it’s your design.

John,

Thanks for responding.

So in the case of the code below, would the instance method be the “def creator(cls):” method? If so, would I think do the following: “def creator(cls, self):”

Or am I not understanding what you are saying?

Thanks,

Aaron

Aaron, AFAIK, you need “self” as the first parameter in your instance methods (not functions, of course).  I don’t know about class methods.

If you’re familiar with Java or C++, this is similar to “this”.

I need help troubleshooting a x3d.py error message.

In developing a Python version of the Rawkee X3D exporter plugin for Maya, I am attempting to create nodes that inherit from both the Maya Python API 2.0 and x3d.py

As such, I have a question about python and multiple class inheritance, and an error I am seeing. Admittedly, I am not the strongest Python programmer.

I am getting the following error when I execute the Python code in Maya, and I’m pretty sure I do not of the __init__() function setup correctly.



# Error: TypeError: file C:\Users\user.name<http://user.name>\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\site-packages\x3d\x3d.py line 14984: Scene.hasChild() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self' #



Can anyone with some Python experience give me an idea of what I am doing wrong here?



Here is the code:

    TYPE_ID      = aom.MTypeId(0x00108FFF)
    PROFILE_TYPE = "Full"
    VERSION      = "4.0"

    def __init__(self):
        super(X3DScene, self).__init__()

    @classmethod
    def creator(cls):
        return X3DScene()

    @classmethod
    def initialize(cls):
        cls.x3dDoc = x3d.X3D(profile=cls.PROFILE_TYPE, version=cls.VERSION)
        cls.x3dDoc.Scene = cls
        #######################################################
        # Test dump to make sure the class works as expected
        #print(json.dumps(xmltodict.parse(cls.x3dDoc.XML()), indent=4))
        print(cls.x3dDoc.XML())
