Issue with inheritance

[Danieltr]

Hi All,

I have inherited some code and am in the process of familiarizing myself with it I have gotten stuck. When Trying to the run the code I get the following exception:

2018-10-04 13:16:40 [ERROR ] milkhub.py line:388 unhandledExceptionHandler Unhandled exception occurred:
2018-10-04 13:16:40 [ERROR ] milkhub.py line:389 unhandledExceptionHandler Type: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>
2018-10-04 13:16:40 [ERROR ] milkhub.py line:390 unhandledExceptionHandler Value: C++ object is not yet constructed, or already destructed.
2018-10-04 13:16:40 [ERROR ] milkhub.py line:393 unhandledExceptionHandler Stack trace: File "milkhub.py", line 415, in <module>

File "/home/daniel/milkhub-dev/MILKHUBGUI/2.5/src/gui/overlays.py", line 170, in __init__
self.name = name


Starting at the 'top':

# initialise pixel2d
GuiManager.pixel2d = overlays.PixelNode(app, "g2d")

the __init__ function:

class PixelNode(OverlayContainer, NodePath):
    # class variables
    app = None
    def __init__(self, app, name=None, parent=None):
        PixelNode.app = app
        OverlayContainer.__init__(self, name)
        NodePath.__init__(self, self.name)
        if parent is None:
            parent = PixelNode.app.render2d
        self.node = self
        self.reparentTo(parent)
        self.setPos(-1,0,1) #the upper left corner
        self.aspectRatioChanged()

which finally calls the __init__ function that throws the exception:

class OverlayContainer(object):
    def __init__(self, name=None, noNode=False, flip=False):
        if name is None:
            name = '%s%i' % (self.__class__.__name__, id(self))
        [b]self.name = name[/b]
        self.node = None if noNode else NodePath(self.name)
        self.x, self.y = 0, 0
        self.zIndex = 0
        self.xScale, self.yScale = 1, 1
        self.flip = flip
        self.yMult = -1 if flip else 1
        if self.node is not None:
            self.node.setScale(self.xScale, 1, self.yScale*self.yMult)
            self.node.setBin('fixed', self.zIndex)

I have no idea why this is happening. If I replace self.name with self.name2 the script will work and throw an exception on the following line "self.node ..."

If anyone has any insights it would be very much appreciated.
