calling child class method from parent class file in python

Question

parent.py:

class A(object):
    def methodA(self):
        print(\"in methodA\")

child.py:

from paren         


        

Answer 1

There are three approaches/ways to do this ! but I highly recommend to use the approach #3 because composition/decoupling has certain benefits in terms of design pattern. (GOF)

## approach 1 inheritance 
class A():
    def methodA(self):
        print("in methodA")
    def call_mehtodB(self):
        self.methodb()

class B(A):
    def methodb(self):
        print("am in methodb")

b=B()
b.call_mehtodB()


## approach 2 using abstract method still class highly coupled
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
class A(ABC):
    def methodA(self):
        print("in methodA")
    @abstractmethod    
    def methodb(self):
       pass

class B(A):

    def methodb(self):
        print("am in methodb")

b=B()
b.methodb()

#approach 3 the recommended way ! Composition 

class A():
    def __init__(self, message):
        self.message=message

    def methodA(self):
        print(self.message)

class B():
    def __init__(self,messageB, messageA):
        self.message=messageB
        self.a=A(messageA)

    def methodb(self):
        print(self.message)

    def methodA(self):
        print(self.a.message)

b=B("am in methodb", "am in methodA")
b.methodb()
b.methodA()
