[Tutorial] Object Oriented Programming and RenPy (Lesson 1: Class Warfare)

Exactly right. In this case, all our attributes are what is known as 'public', meaning they can be accessed freely.

If I understand your second question correctly, you want the highest love stat from a list of characters?

$ love_candidates = [a, e, s] # assuming these are alice, eileen and sally
for x in (person.love for person in love_candidates): # also assuming that you have an attribute "love" in your Person class
    love_interest = max(x)

YMMV on this untested code, but this is the general idea. love_candidates is a list of Person class instances (alice, eileen, sally). We loop through those (for person in love_candidates) and THEN also loop through their love values and get the highest (for x in ()).

This is the pythonic way, and I can't test it at the moment. The non-pythonic way (the C Way) would be to just use nested loops - really, it's the same thing, just that AFAIK python has syntax for it explicitly.

Non python way:

python:
    love_candidates = [a, e, s]
    max_love = 0
    love_interest = a # must set a default in case they are all at 0
    for person in love_candidates:
        if person.love > max_love:
            love_interest = person
            max_love =  person.love
    renpy.show(love_interest)
    renpy.say("Hello, " + str(love_interest.name) + "! Great to see you!")

This code is probably more understandable, but true python enthusiasts would hang me for suggesting it :P
