        self.Cname = Cname
        self.CacountNumber = CacountNumber
        self.Cbalance = Cbalance

    def Deposit(self, DepositAmount):
        self.Cbalance = self.Cbalance + DeposetAmount


    def WithDraw(self, WithDrawAmount):
        if WithDrawAmount > self.Cbalance:
            raise InSuffetiantFunds
        self.Cbalance = self.Cbalance - WithDrawAmount


    def C_Info(self):

        print "Bank Name :", Customer.BankName
        print "Customer Name :", self.Cname
        print "Customer Acount Number : ", self.CacountNumber
        print "Customer Balance :", self.Cbalance 

class EmpClass(Customer):
        ''' this class contains all Employee related Information and Functions'''

    BankName = "SBH"

    def __init__(self, EmpName,EmpId,):
        self.EmpName = EmpName
        self.EmpId = EmpId 
        Customer.__init__(self, Cname,CacountNumber, Cbalance)

    def E_Info(self):
        print "Bank Name :", EmpClass.BankName
        print "Employee Name:", self.EmpName
        print "Employee Id : ", self.EmpId

you've tagged this with django, but it is more generally related to python — dahrens, Oct 02 '16 at 07:34

In python there is super which enables you to call the inherited classes functionalities.

class EmpClass(Customer):
    def __init__(self, EmpName, EmpId, *args, **kwargs):
        self.EmpName = EmpName
        self.EmpId = EmpId 
        super(EmpClass, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

If you are on python3 you no longer need to pass arguments to super()

Use *args and **kwargs to pass arguments to the parent, without defining them again in the subclass.

Thanks Mr Dahrens, put really iam stell not geting , if you can give more explanation and examp, I have tried to create object for poth class example :c1=Customer("omer",25200000,1000000) e1=EmpClass("employee",1000,Cname=c1.Cname,Cbalance=c1.Cbalance). but indeed i am just creating another object of the EmpClass, with same customer info , so hellllppp :::)) – Oct 02 '16 at 13:09
Of course you do - this is how inheritance works. Do you want the EmpClass to be related to a Customer? Than you should __not inherit__ but make customer a attribute of EmpClass and pass an instance over to `__init__` – dahrens Oct 02 '16 at 14:55
Yes I do want EmpClass to be related to Customer Class, but my problem is that i want EmpClass's object to be able to modify Customer's Class objects , not to create new EmpClass object , and thanks a lot for your support Mr Dahrens. – Oct 02 '16 at 15:14
objects can [modify other objects without inheriting](https://gist.github.com/dahrens/967366b2e2dfc94c44c8c98733373b15) them – dahrens Oct 02 '16 at 16:07
