TypeError when creating a class

Question

Today, some unexpected behavior came up. When I wrote this:

class ErrorPost(object):
    def __init__(self, message):
        self.message = "[Error]" + message
        print(self.message)
        del self

class ErrorLog(ErrorPost):
    def __init__(self, message):
        super().__init__(message)
        del self

This code throws an error, when creating an ErrorLog object:

TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable

Why is this? I am not manipulating the type of anything, and am not trying to make an object into another type, such as an int. What is happening, here?

I am limited on the amount of code I can post, sorry.

Answer 1

errorLog= ErrorLog["Apple Computers needed, but no OS available"]

You used brackets. You need parentheses to create an object:

errorLog= ErrorLog("Apple Computers needed, but no OS available")
