when I run this, I come across a problem that I can't solve on my own, I hope to find the answer here

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:/Python35/Lib/site-packages/PyQt5/qt ddesain/callKalkulator.py", line 109, in window = MainWindow() File "C:/Python35/Lib/site-packages/PyQt5/qt ddesain/callKalkulator.py", line 15, in init super(MainWindow, self),init(*args, **kwargs) NameError: name 'init' is not defined

i got this kind of problem with my code like this, is there any way to solve it

Answer 1

It's a clear error in syntax for calling the constructor of parent class:

super(MainWindow, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Note than in python3, you can simply use super().__init__(*args, **kwargs).
