This is really weird, but I'm making a custom vector using pygame's Vector2 as a parent, and any attempt to define an attribute that starts with the letters x or y results in an error upon initialization. If the x is anywhere else in the attribute name, it works fine.

For example, this works fine:

class CustomVector(pygame.Vector2):
    def __init__(self,vector,attribute):
        super().__init__(vector)
        self.attribute = attribute

CustomVector((0,0),True)

This also works fine:

class CustomVector(pygame.Vector2):
    def __init__(self,vector,attribute):
        super().__init__(vector)
        self.attributex = attribute

CustomVector((0,0),True)

But this raises an error:

class CustomVector(pygame.Vector2):
    def __init__(self,vector,attribute):
        super().__init__(vector)
        self.xattribute = attribute

CustomVector((0,0),True)

The error raised is generally TypeError: a sequence is expected, but I've gotten others

Per John Gordon, here is the whole error message. There is another error, but it is clearly stated that it is the direct result of the TypeError:

TypeError: a sequence is expected

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:


Traceback (most recent call last):
