Can't init child class with overloaded __init__ method in Ren'Py python code section-CodePudding

In Ren'Pys python section I've tried to do following:

python:
    class test_class0():
        def __init__(self, **kwargs):
            self.test0 = kwargs['test0']


    class test_class1(test_class0):
        def __init__(self, **kwargs):
            super().__init__(**kwargs)
            self.test1 = kwargs['test1']

    test_obj0 =  test_class0(test0 = 0)
    test_obj1 =  test_class1(test1 = 1, test0 = 0)

This works fine for standalone Python, but with Ren'Py I've got following traceback:

While running game code:
  File "script.rpy", line 62, in script
    python:
  File "script.rpy", line 75, in <module>
    test_obj1 =  test_class1(test1 = 1, test0 = 0)
  File "script.rpy", line 71, in __init__
    super().__init__(**kwargs)
TypeError: super() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)

CodePudding user response：

You're on a Ren'Py release that uses Python 2. You need to update to the 8.x Ren'Py line.

CodePudding user response：

This error occurs because Ren'Py apparently uses Python 2, where super worked differently than in Python 3 (see Python extending with - using super() Python 3 vs Python 2).

It seems that support for Python 3 was added in Ren'Py version 8.0.0, which was released on June 26, 2022, so I suggest upgrading.
