inheritance - Avoid using child method in parent class in python -

suppose have 2 classes in python below:

class parent(object):     def __init__(self):         self.num = 0      def fun1(self):         print 'p.fun1'      def fun2(self):         self.fun1()         print 'p.fun2' 

and

from parent import parent  class child(parent):     def __init__(self):         super(child,self).__init__()      def fun1(self):         print 'c.fun1'      def fun2(self):         super(child, self).fun2()         print 'c.fun2' 

and if call fun2 of child

from child import child  test = child() test.fun2() 

i output:

c.fun1 p.fun2 c.fun2 

which means call of child.fun2() leads parent.fun2(). inside parent.fun2(), use self.fun1() in case interpreted child.fun1() in test.

but want class parent individual , call of parent.fun2() uses parent.fun1() inside it.

how can avoid this?

i know can make parent.fun1() private parent.__fun1(). have instances of parent need use parent.fun1() outside class. means need override fun1().

that's how inheritance supposed work. behavior need, might want reconsider parent & child class's relationship, or change method names or @ least make parent methods classmethods or staticmethods.

this should work need, don't it.

class parent(object):     def __init__(self):         self.num=0     def fun1(self):         print 'p.fun1'     def fun2(self):         parent.fun1(self)         print 'p.fun2' 

child class can remain same.

in classes accessed in inheritance chain, self point instance of class instantiated , not current class accessed in super call (or in order find method/attribute matter). self.fun2 point method of child class.
