Method declared but not found in a class object

July 25, 2022

I just began the long and painful journey in Python Class Objects and try this:

class UgcObject:
       
    def __init__(self, strPlateformeOld, strIdOld):
        self.strPlateformeOld = strPlateformeOld
        self.strIdOld = strIdOld
     
    def GetApiUpdatedMetadata(self):    
        if self.strPlateforme == "youtube":        
           return True      
           
    def GetblnUpdatePossible(self):
        return GetApiUpdatedMetadata()
    
   

if __name__ == '__main__':
    ugc_test = UgcObject("youtube","id")
    print(ugc_test.GetblnUpdatePossible())

I got NameError: name ‘GetApiUpdatedMetadata’ is not defined and i don’t get why considering the GetApiUpdatedMetadata is declared and above the method that calls it.

What did i did wrong?

>Solution :

If you are trying to call another method in the same class it should have self. in front of it, and the variable name self.strPlateforme is wrong:

class UgcObject:
       
    def __init__(self, strPlateformeOld, strIdOld):
        self.strPlateformeOld = strPlateformeOld
        self.strIdOld = strIdOld
     
    def GetApiUpdatedMetadata(self):    
        if self.strPlateformeOld == "youtube":        
            return True      
           
    def GetblnUpdatePossible(self):
        return self.GetApiUpdatedMetadata()
    
   

if __name__ == '__main__':
    ugc_test = UgcObject("youtube","id")
    print(ugc_test.GetblnUpdatePossible())
