Subclassing overriding 'parent' and retrieving it in instantiation

Goffer

Hi community !

this title is very confusing but i couldn't really figure out how to name this post.
My problem is simple

I have a subclass

class TaskWidget(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, taskName, parent=None):
        super(TaskWidget, self).__init__(parent)

when sublclassing it :

self.taskTemplate = TaskWidget(taskName, parent=aWidget)
self.taskTemplateLayout.addWidget(self.taskTemplate)

then in my class definition I would have thought that :

print self # return the subclassed widget OK
print self.parent() # should return aWidget ?

but it raises an error : # TypeError: 'aWidget' object is not callable

I m trying to go through the hierarchy so I can find a specific Widget.

Is that the proper way of doing it ?

What happens if you just do print self.parent?

I found out.
stupid mistake, I was overiding self.parent = parent in my init() ...
