get attribute from a parent class

[Larry Bates]

I normally do something like this:

class A:
    def __init__(self, parent):
    self.parent=parent
    #
    # Access parent's variables by using
    # self.parent.<attribute>.
    #
    self.var = parent.var2
    t1=self.parent.var1
    t2=self.parent.var2
    return

class B:
    def __init__(self):
    self.var1=0
    self.var2=1
    self.classA=A(self)
    #
    # Access classA's attributes by using
    # self.classA.<attribute>
    #
    t1=A.var
    return
