Copied from another web site. class Person: def __init__(self, fname, lname): self.firstname = fname self.lastname = lname def printname(self): print(self.firstname, self.lastname) class Student(Person): def __init__(self, fname, lname, year): Person.__init__(self, fname, lname) # super().__init__(fname, lname) <- or use this instead of the line above self.graduationyear = year def welcome(self): print("Welcome", self.firstname, self.lastname, "to the class of", self.graduationyear) x = Student("Mike", "Olsen", 2019) x.welcome()

I don't know much about python but If son extends parent then theres no need to add that peice of code again in son becuase son inherits it from parent, just call parent constructor from son class and add the attributes in then because son inherits what ever parent has your object will have a name and gender

iron_man = son(5, 7) dictionary = vars(iron_man) print(dictionary) #Output: {'division': 5, 'rollno': 7}

Does the son object have something to inherit?

Atleast son object shouldn't inherit the name and gender attributes.
