I have a class A and a class B derived from A.
After creating an instance of class A with many operations performed, I now want to serialize that specific object. Let's call that object A_instance.
When initializing class B, how can I tell B that it's base object should be A_instance?
Within B's init i want to decide whether it should normally execute super().__init__(...) or setting the base object directly to A_instance.
Here is a code example which makes my question hopefully clear:
class A():
def __init__(self, a=1):
self.a = a
self.message = "Hello, I'm class A"
myA = A(15)
class B(A):
def __init__(self, b=2, my_base=None):
if my_base:
# what should i code here? maybe someting like super().super_object = my_base
pass
else:
super(B, self).__init__()
self.b = b
self.message = "Hello, I'm class B inherited from A"
#Then the above code should result in something like:
myB = B(my_base=myA)
assert myB.a == myA.a
A similar if not even the same question for C++ can be found here: set the base object of derived object?
