Bug with object own __init__ and Query method

[gabgir]

Hi,

I'm still a bit new to Python and after creating a class with its own __init__ method, the Query method doesn't work properly. If a comment my __init__ method, then the object get retrieve properly. I suppose my __init__method override something in the Object class, But it is fairly basic as you can see:

def __init__(self, name):
    self.name = name
    self.tasks = []
    List.listcount = List.listcount + 1

And the retrieving code is also pretty simple:

mylists = List.Query.all()
for mylist in mylists:
    print mylist.name
    print mylist.tasks

I could rewrite everything to not use my own __init__ method, but I would like not to do that as it keeps my code easier to understand. Any ideas on how to fix that? Thanks.

Please see my StackOverflow answer here for a simple workaround. In short you need to alter your __init__ so that it takes **kwargs, then add Object.__init__(self, **kwargs) to the end of your __init__.

Thanks for the quick answer! I should have checked StackOverflow!
