Python terminal is printing the location of the object in a class not the data stored in the object

I have a class I've imported into a Python file. But my code is printing the location of the object not the data stored in the object. It is giving me this output, '<Chapter_10_Program_Exercise_5.RetailItem object at 0x10e281520>' which I think is the location but how can I change that? Here's the code and a picture of the python terminal output.
class RetailItem:
# __init__ method initializes the attributes.
def __init__(self, description, units, price):
self.__item_description = description
self.__units_in_inventory = units
self.__price = price
# The set_item_description method gets the item type.
def set_item_description(self, description):
self.__item_description = description
# The set_units_in_inventory method gets number of items available.
def set_units_in_inventory(self, units):
self.__units_in_inventory = units
# The set_price method gets the cost of item.
def set_price(self, price):
self.__price = price
# The get_item_description method returns the item type.
def get_item_description(self):
return self.__item_description
# The get_units_in_inventory returns the number of items available.
def get_units_in_inventory(self):
return self.__units_in_inventory
# The get_price method returns the cost of item.
def get_price(self):
return self.__price
from Chapter_10_Program_Exercise_5 import RetailItem

self.__items.append(retail_item)
print('The item was added to the cash register.')
def get_total(self):
total_cost = 0.0
# for loop
for item in self.__items:
total_cost = total_cost +item.get_price()
return total_cost

# Item is updated according to the user selected option
sale_items[user_option] = new_item
# The user input is assigned to the attribute checkout
checkout = input('Are you ready to check out (Y/N)? ')
print()
print('Your purchase total is:',\
format(register.get_total(),'.2f'))
print()

Python Terminal Output

This is how python manages the printing of objects. If you want to print attributes you need to tell python which representation you want for your object.
You can do that by implementing these methods in the object class:
class RetailItem:
.
.
.
def __repr__(self):
return "RetailItem()"
def __str__(self):
return "" + self.__item_description + str(self.__units_in_inventory) + str(self.__price)
Note that the two methods will be automatically called in different situations:
>>> ri = RetailItem()
>>> ri
RetailItem()
>>> print(ri)
description 2.0 13.99

Since all variables within RetailItem are private, you'd
need to use the getter method (get_*()) to grab the info.
So to apply that to your display_items() method:
def display_items(self):
print('The items in the cash register are:')
for item in self.__items:
print("Description: %s, Units in Inventory: %d, Price: %0.2f" %
(item.get_item_description(),
item.get_units_in_inventory(),
item.get_price())

Python Inheritance error (with private variables)

I'm a beginner at coding and tried looking up the error but could not find why it showed up. Could someone please explain it to me?
My code as follows is:
class Automobile:
__material = None
__height = None
__width = None
__engine_size = None
def set_values(self, mat, height, width, engsz="M"):
self.__material = mat
self.__height = height
self.__width = width
self.__engine_size = engsz
def getMat(self):
return self.__material
def getHeight(self):
return self.__height
def getWidth(self):
return self.__width
def getEngineSize(self):
return self.__engine_size
class Car(Automobile):
__pricePU = None
def __findPricePerUnit(self):
return priceDict[self.getMat]
def price(self):
return self.getWidth * self.getHeight * self.__findPricePerUnit
print("A new car is being made")
print("What are the dimensions wanted for the new car in")
mat = input("Enter material: ")
height = input("Enter height: ")
width = input("Enter width: ")
car1 = Car()
car1.set_values(mat, height, width)
print("A new car has been made!")
print("The price of this new car is: ")
print(car1.price)
My input for this is:
iron=10,steel=20,gold=50,diamond=100
gold
1.5
5
The OUTPUT shown at the end is:
A new car has been made!
The price of this new car is:
<bound method Car.price of <__main__.Car object at 0x0000025DE7E84C70>>
I am not exactly sure why this is coming up, could someone please explain this to me!

There are several errors in the code, some of which are as follows:
On the last line, you should execute the price function like this car1.price()
In the price function, you should execute the functions instead of multiplying the pointers of the functions, like this:
def price(self):
return self.getWidth() * self.getHeight() * self.__findPricePerUnit()
There is no priceDict, so there will be an error in __findPricePerUnit as well.

print("A new car has been made!")
print("The price of this new car is: ")
print(car1.price())
Because price() is a method.

Product Inventory program that takes products with an ID, quantity, and price and uses an Inventory class to keep track of the products

The Product class seems to work fine but I'm trying to figure out how to get the Inventory class to separate each product into there specific categories. I feel like I'm close but whenever I try and print out the inventory it just shows where it's stored in memory and doesn't actually print anything out. The output i receive when running is at the bottom. I want it to print out the actual products and data, not the instance of it stored in memory.
class Product:
def __init__(self, pid, price, quantity):
self.pid = pid
self.price = price
self.quantity = quantity
def __str__(self):
#Return the strinf representing the product
return "Product ID: {}\t Price: {}\t Quantity: {}\n".format(self.pid, self.price, self.quantity)
def get_id(self):
#returns id
return self.pid
def get_price(self):
#returns price
return self.price
def get_quantity(self):
#returns quantity
return self.quantity
def increase_quantity(self):
self.quantity += 1
def decrease_quantity(self):
self.quantity -= 1
def get_value(self):
value = self.quantity * self.price
return 'value is {}'.format(value)
product_1 = Product('fishing', 20, 10)
product_2 = Product('apparel', 35, 20)
class Inventory:
def __init__(self, products):
self.products = products
self.fishing_list = []
self.apparel_list = []
self.value = 0
def __repr__(self):
return "Inventory(products: {}, fishing_list: {}, apparel_list: {}, value: {})".format(self.products, self.fishing_list, self.apparel_list, self.value)
def add_fishing(self):
for product in self.products:
if product.get_id() == 'fishing':
self.fishing_list.append(product)
return '{} is in the fishing section'.format(self.fishing_list)
def add_apparel(self):
for product in self.products:
if product.get_id() == 'apparel':
self.apparel_list.append(product)
return '{} is in the apparel section'.format(self.apparel_list)
inventory_1 = Inventory([product_1, product_2])
inventory_1.add_fishing()
print(inventory_1)
OUTPUT = Inventory(products: [<main.Product instance at 0x10dbc8248>, <main.Product instance at 0x10dbc8290>], fishing_list: [<main.Product instance at 0x10dbc8248>], apparel_list: [], value: 0)

You need to specify how an object of the class Inventory should be printed.
To do this you need to implement at least one of the following functions in your class.
__repr__
__str__
This answer helps, which of both you should use: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2626364/8411228
An implementation could look something like this:
class Inventory:
# your code ...
def __repr__(self):
return str(self.products) + str(self.fishing_list) + str(self.apparel_list) + str(self.value)
# or even better with formatting
def __repr__(self):
return f"Inventory(products: {self.products}, fishing_list: {self.fishing_list}, apparel_list: {self.apparel_list}, value: {self.value})
Note that I used in the second example f strings, to format the output string.

How to return the value of given key in method - dictionary

Im trying to write a simple vending machine.
I have Container class that contains items and class Items contains information like the prize and the amount.
The ID indentifies the item. Every calling add item will increment ID by one, so that every item is unique.
I would like to get the prize of given ID.
So for example: I add item, it has ID=30, I give ID and it returns the prize of it.
I tried something like this, but it does not work:
from Item import Item
class Container:
id = 30
def __init__(self, objects=None):
if objects is None:
objects = {}
self.objects = objects
def add_object(self, obj: Item):
self.objects.update({id: obj})
Container.id = container.id + 1
def get_length(self):
return len(self.objects)
def find_price_of_given_id(self, id):
# return self.objects.get(id).get_price()
pass
Cola = Item(20)
print(Cola.get_amount())
container = Container()
container.add_object(Cola)
print(container.objects.items())
Item class:
class Item:
def __init__(self, price,amount=5):
self.amount = amount
self.price = price
def get_price(self):
return self.price
def get_amount(self):
return self.amount
I dont know why also print(container.objects.items()) returns dict_items([(<built-in function id>, <Item.Item object at 0x00000000022C8358>)]), why not ID = 30 + Item object

id is the name of a builtin method. Don't use it as a variable name - leads to name confusion.
You're assigning the id inside the container class but never giving it back, so that people can look up the item using the id.
In python3, dict.items returns a dict_items iterator, so you need to iterate over it to get to the items within.
class Item:
def __init__(self, price, amount=5):
self.amount = amount
self.price = price
def get_price(self):
return self.price
def get_amount(self):
return self.amount
def __str__(self):
return f"{self.amount} # {self.price}"
class Container:
item_id = 30
def __init__(self, objects=None):
if objects is None:
objects = {}
self.objects = objects
def add_object(self, obj: Item):
id_to_assign = Container.item_id
self.objects.update({id_to_assign: obj})
Container.item_id = Container.item_id + 1
return id_to_assign
def get_length(self):
return len(self.objects)
def find_price_of_given_id(self, item_id):
return self.objects.get(item_id).get_price()
Cola = Item(20)
print(Cola.get_amount())
container = Container()
cola_id = container.add_object(Cola)
print(container.objects.items())
print(container.find_price_of_given_id(cola_id))
Output:
5
dict_items([(30, <__main__.Item object at 0x104444b00>)])
20

How to get rid of eval in subclass appending to superclass instance list?

I am using eval to run a generated string to append the newly created EggOrder instance to the list of the correct instance of the DailyOrders class. The day provided by EggOrder is used to used to append to the correct instance. This relies on eval and the variable name of the DailyOrders instance and so it would be great to get this removed. I know there must be a better way.
class DailyOrders:
PRICE_PER_DOZEN = 6.5
def __init__(self, day):
self.orders = []
self.day = day
def total_eggs(self):
total_eggs = 0
for order in self.orders:
total_eggs += order.eggs
return total_eggs
def show_report(self):
if self.total_eggs() < 0:
print("No Orders")
else:
print(f"Summary:\nTotal Eggs Ordered: {self.total_eggs()}")
print(f"Average Eggs Per Customer: {self.total_eggs() / len(self.orders):.0f}\n*********")
class EggOrder():
def __init__(self, eggs=0, name="", day=""):
if not name:
self.new_order()
else:
self.name = name
self.eggs = eggs
self.day = day
eval(f"{self.day.lower()}.orders.append(self)")
def new_order(self):
self.name = string_checker("Name: ")
self.eggs = num_checker("Number of Eggs: ")
self.day = string_checker("Date: ")
def get_dozens(self):
if self.eggs % 12 != 0:
dozens = int(math.ceil(self.eggs / 12))
else:
dozens = self.eggs / 12
return dozens
def show_order(self):
print(f"{self.name} ordered {self.eggs} eggs. The price is ${self.get_dozens() * DailyOrders.PRICE_PER_DOZEN}.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
friday = DailyOrders("Friday")
friday_order = EggOrder(12, "Someone", "Friday")
friday_order.show_order()
friday.show_report()
saturday = DailyOrders("Saturday")
saturday_order = EggOrder(19, "Something", "Saturday")
saturday_order = EggOrder(27, "Alex Stiles", "Saturday")
saturday.show_report()
DailyOrders isn't actually a superclass (it was in a earlier version), it acts like one and I suspect the answer might have some inheritance.
