Why am I getting AttributeError: Object has no attribute

Question

I have a class MyThread. In that, I have a method sample. I am trying to run it from within the same object context. Please have a look at the code:

class myThread (threading.Thread): 

     def __init__(self, threadID, name, counter,

     redisOpsObj):

           threading.Thread.__init__(self) 

           self.threadID = threadID 

           self.name = name 

           self.counter = counter 

           self.redisOpsObj = redisOpsObj 

    def stop(self): 

          self.kill_received = True 

   def sample(self):

         print "Hello" 

   def run(self):

        time.sleep(0.1) 

        print "\n Starting " + self.name 

        self.sample()

Looks very simple ain't it. But when I run it I get this error

AttributeError: 'myThread' object has no attribute 'sample'

Now I have that method, right there. So what's wrong? Please help

You are getting this attribute error because your indentation is goofed, and you've mixed tabs and spaces. Run the script with python -tt to verify.
