Class1 is instantiated in Class2 as follows. Class2 also contains another variable, say:

class Class2: 
    class1 = Class1()
    a = 0

I want to create a method myDef() in Class1 that can read or write to a. How do I access a from within myDef() to access a?

... By accessing it through `Class2`. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 23 '17 at 06:59
@IgnacioVazquez-Abrams: Can you give a code example? – sm535 Oct 23 '17 at 14:24

`print(Class2.a)` – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 23 '17 at 14:24
@IgnacioVazquez-Abrams: Thanks but Class1 does not have any knowledge about its container class a priori. Also, this will hardcode the path. I want to know of a built-in method (kind of equivalent of super() for inheritance) that will give me the container class reference, Class2 in this case. – sm535 Oct 23 '17 at 14:29
