Answer 1

Edit your post and add the code you're talking about, and don't forget to add the error code as well.

Answer 2

Karen Rubi Gutierrez Romero this is not a script. Python interpreter is not meant to write serious code, it is meant to write very small actions or to test something, and problems such as the ones you're facing are to be expected.

You are writing entire classes in the python interpreter, which will only lead to more problems, and will almost be impossible to fix and debug. Write your code in a single file, and run it. If you still get errors, then we'll be happy to help you fix the problem. Good luck 👍

Answer 3

Definitions of cat and purr don't have any ':' in your text, dognbark defs do, that's one difference.

Answer 4

Ipython is imho too simplistic for class stuff, why not use a practical IDE or simple texteditor?

Answer 5
