Notes
- 1.
In a real application, we would of course use Python’s date and time library to calculate the year born, but this will serve for our demo.
- 2.
In fact, self is not a reserved keyword, but it is a convention that everyone follows.
- 3.
The method that is searched for is called __repr__(). We’re sticking with __str__() here because the purpose of __str__() is to make objects readable. The purpose of __repr__() is to aid in troubleshooting when something goes wrong in an application. In real applications, you may want to also implement __repr__(), but it’s beyond the scope of our game.
