Python Vector Class no attribute error

[clope023]

Hello all, my issue is in calling the attributes of a 3d vector class in python, this is the class I was working with:

import math

class Vec3:
''' A three dimensional vector '''
def __init__(self, v_x=0, v_y=0, v_z=0):
self.set( v_x, v_y, v_z )
def set(self, v_x=0, v_y=0, v_z=0):
if isinstance(v_x, tuple) or isinstance(v_x, list):
self.x, self.y, self.z = v_x
else:
self.x = v_x
self.y = v_y
self.z = v_z
def __getitem__(self, index):
if index==0: return self.x
elif index==1: return self.y
elif index==2: return self.z
else: raise IndexError("index out of range for Vec3")
def __mul__(self, other):
'''Multiplication, supports types Vec3 and other
types that supports the * operator '''
if isinstance(other, Vec3):
return Vec3(self.x*other.x, self.y*other.y, self.z*other.z)
else: #Raise an exception if not a float or integer
return Vec3(self.x*other, self.y*other, self.z*other)
def __div__(self, other):
'''Division, supports types Vec3 and other
types that supports the / operator '''
if isinstance(other, Vec3):
return Vec3(self.x/other.x, self.y/other.y, self.z/other.z)
else: #Raise an exception if not a float or integer
return Vec3(self.x/other, self.y/other, self.z/other)
def __add__(self, other):
'''Addition, supports types Vec3 and other
types that supports the + operator '''
if isinstance(other, Vec3):
return Vec3( self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y, self.z + other.z )
else: #Raise an exception if not a float or integer
return Vec3(self.x + other, self.y + other, self.z + other)
def __sub__(self, other):
'''Subtraction, supports types Vec3 and other
types that supports the - operator '''
if isinstance(other, Vec3):
return Vec3(self.x - other.x, self.y - other.y, self.z - other.z)
else: #Raise an exception if not a float or integer
return Vec3(self.x - other, self.y - other, self.z - other )
def __abs__(self):
'''Absolute value: the abs() method '''
return Vec3( abs(self.x), abs(self.y), abs(self.z) )
def __neg__(self):
'''Negate this vector'''
return Vec3( -self.x, -self.y, -self.z )
def __str__(self):
return '<' + ','.join(
[str(val) for val in (self.x, self.y, self.z) ] ) + '>'
def __repr__(self):
return str(self) + ' instance at 0x' + str(hex(id(self))[2:].upper())
def length(self):
''' This vectors length'''
return math.sqrt( self.x**2 + self.y**2 + self.z**2 )
def length_squared(self):
''' Returns this vectors length squared
(saves a sqrt call, usefull for vector comparisons)'''
return self.x**2 + self.y**2 + self.z**2
def cross(self, other):
'''Return the cross product of this and another Vec3'''
return Vec3( self.y*other.z - other.y*self.z,
self.z*other.x - other.z*self.x,
self.x*other.y - self.y*other.x )
def dot(self, other):
'''Return the dot product of this and another Vec3'''
return self.x*other.x + self.y*other.y + self.z*other.z
def normalized(self):
'''Return this vector normalized'''
return self/self.length()
def normalize(self):
'''Normalize this Vec3'''
self /= self.length()

With this written as a script I imported it into IPython thusly:

from Vec3 import *

v = Vec3(3,4,5)

v.add(3)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
C:\Users\CHUCK\Documents\<ipython-input-7-4b1689e130e9> in <module>()
----> 1 v.add(3)

AttributeError: Vec3 instance has no attribute 'add'

As you can see from the code above, add is clearly an attribute of class Vec3.

So my question is how can I call the functions of my class without this error?

Am I calling the class correctly?

Any and all help is appreciated.

The Vec3 class does not have an add function - however, it has a function named __add__

def __add__(self, other):
'''Addition, supports types Vec3 and other 
types that supports the + operator ''' 
if isinstance(other, Vec3):
return Vec3( self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y, self.z + other.z )
else: #Raise an exception if not a float or integer
return Vec3(self.x + other, self.y + other, self.z + other)
