python get access to vars from an imported module

tree get_info get_info ├── __init__.py ├── __pycache__ │   ├── __init__.cpython-38.pyc │   └── get_resources.cpython-38.pyc └── get_resources.py 

contents of get_resources.py

class get_resource_info(): def __init__(self): self.color = 'red' def print(self): print("hi printing") print(self.color) 

I have the following file test.pyhere:

#!/usr/bin/env python from get_info import get_resource_info class test(): def __init__(self): pass def test(self): get_resource_info.print(self) if __name__ == '__main__': tes = test() tes.test() 

from above structure, I do not understand the following: when I run test.py - I get the following output:

hi printing Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test.py", line 17, in <module> tes.test() File "./test.py", line 9, in test get_resource_info.print(self) File "/get_info/get_resources.py", line 14, in print print(self.color) AttributeError: 'test' object has no attribute 'color' 

couple of things that are not making sense to me:

1. when I call the get_resource_info.print module from get_resource_info object why do i have to pass an argument (self)
2. i dont understand why it is complaining that there is no attribute color -- my understanding is, when I call the object get_resource_info, it will first initiate the __init__ module and set its attributes!! , in this case it should have set the attribute color

please let me know what I am understanding wrong here. will appreciate any help I can get.

i have looked at this: Importing class from another file to make __init__.py work

I have also looked at: Python: How to access property from another file ? from file name import class didn't work

and other resources but I am not able to figure it out unfortunately, so please let me know what is going on here!!
