Error when calling superclass __init__ method

[Maese Fernando]

Hi,

I'm getting an odd error while trying to call the __init__ method of a
super class:

BaseField.__ini t__(self)
TypeError: unbound method __init__() must be called with BaseField
instance as first argument (got nothing instead)


This is the code:

class BaseField(objec t):

def _addFieldsToRec (self, rec, *fields):
for field in fields:
self.mfn[field] = rec

def __init__(self):
self._addFields ToRec(1,1)
self._addFields ToRec(2, 500,501,502,503 ,504,505,506,50 7,508)


class Field(BaseField ):
def __init__(self, value):
BaseField.__ini t__(self) # this seems to be the offending
line.
self.tag = value


What am I doing wrong?

No, it isn't. Please provide the actual code or, better, a minimal
example. Don't forget to run it to verify it shows the behaviour described
above before you post it.

My bets are on

BaseField.__ini t__() # no self
