[Tutor] Question About Subclasses

[Britt Green]

Hello,

I'm having some problems getting Python to create a subclass. I have a class 
called Items, and then a subclass of that called Containers. Python doesn't 
recognize Containers as a valid subclass.

This is what I have in a file called "Classes.py":

class Items:
    def __init__(self, name, ip):
        self.name = name
        self.inPossesion = ip

class Containers(Items):
    def __init__(self, name, ip, oc):
        Items.__init__(self, name, ip)
        self.openClosed = oc

Then within another file called "game.py" I have the following code:

import Classes

cupboard = Containers("cupboard", 0, "closed")

key = Items ("worn key", 0)

When I go to run this code, Python spits this back at me:

>>>
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "C:/Program Files/Python20/game.py", line 3, in ?
    cupboard = Containers("cupboard", 0, "closed")
NameError: There is no variable named 'Containers'

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Britt
