Object has no attribute

Please Help on my code with threads. it goes like

class MyThread(threading.Thread): # Create a class representing a thread of control
        def __init__(self,target):
            print 'thread created'
            self.target = target
            threading.Thread.__init__ ( self )
        def run (self):
            print 'running thread '
            while True:
                self.target()
     # Define class to allow thread to be stopped over time
        def __init__ (self, target):
            super(MyThread, self).__init__()
            self._stop = threading.Event()
            print "thread stopped"
        def stop (self):
            self._stop.set()
        def stopped (self):
            return self._stop.isSet()

However when i run it, it complains that the line self.target () : 'MyThread' object has no attribute 'target'

how do i get around this?

Uhm... you are overriding your own init method, and the override doesn't assign the self.target variable.

You have two init functions defined. The second definition (which doesn't define target) overrides the first.
