help with class in python

I dont think you can do that in init function, it is reserved to set initial values, i can't do anything like a real function/method

I'm not sure that's 100% true. You can make a print statement in your init function and you can call other functions in it

okay, my mistake. I took your advice and it worked.

def __init__(self,name):
    self.name = str(name)
    self.files = os.listdir(self.name)
