Inheritance, child has no attribute of parent

Question

from abc import ABC 


class Person(ABC):
    def __init__(self,name):
        self.__name = name

class Worker(Person):
    def __init__(self,name):
        super().__init__(name)
        print(self.__name)

Worker("Ania")

I want output "Ania", but I have this error instead:

'Worker' object has no attribute '_Worker__name'

Double underscore results into Name Mangling. Refer [What is the meaning of single and double underscore before an object name?](https://stackoverflow.com/a/1301369/2063361) for more details — Moinuddin Quadri, Jan 03 '21 at 20:13

Change __name to _name or name, it'll work. In Python preceding dunders (double underscores) means Mangling. You can read more here.
