Actually no. Let me be more specific

class outer_class:
    def __init__(self):
        self.example = "just a test"

    class inner_class:
        def __init__(self):
            <whatever>

and now, specifically:

How in the __init__ of the inner class do i acess the instance
attributes declared in the __init__ of the outer class? In this case the
instance attribute example?
