[Tutor] list question

[Ataulla S H]

if u want to add new attributes into ur list
u need to import list object in ur class

class customlist(list):
     x = 'your val'
c = customlist()
>>> dir(c)
['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__delitem__',
'__delslice__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__ge__',
'__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__',
'__iadd__', '__imul__', '__init__', '__iter__', '__le__', '__len__',
'__lt__', '__module__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__',
'__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__reversed__', '__rmul__', '__setattr__',
'__setitem__', '__setslice__', '__str__', '__weakref__', 'append', 'count',
'extend', 'index', 'insert', 'pop', 'remove', 'reverse', 'sort', *'x'*]
>>> c.x
'your val'
