from Project_dice import dice
class Hand(list):
dice_class (=what type of dice will be used --> 2sided,4sided,6sided...)
def __init__(self, size=0, dice_class=None, *args, **kwargs):
if not dice_class:
raise ValueError("You must provide a dice class")
super().__init__()
for _ in range(size):
self.append(dice_class())
# will sort Dice instances in current hand (list) by its value (since the __gt__ and __lt__ are defined for Dice class)
self.sort()
hand1 = Hand(size=5, dice_class=dice.D6)
class YatzyHand(Hand):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(size=5, dice_class=D6, *args, **kwargs)
yatzy = YatzyHand()
This is my code, for some reason im getting error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
line 22, in __init__
super().__init__(size=5, dice_class=D6, *args, **kwargs)
NameError: name 'D6' is not defined
If I define the YatziHand's super().init like this, its working fine:
super().__init__(size=5, dice_class=dice.D6, *args, **kwargs)
So my question is: why do I have to specify dice_class=dice.D6 , while he can use simply dice_class=D6 ??
