Is this all it would take to change the True/False answer to the question: making the last line return self.has_pulp?
Like so:
class Orange(Fruit):
has_pulp = True
def squeeze(self):
return self.has_pulp
(originally the code in the question is: return has_pulp)
Thank you for your input and any clarity on the conceptual understanding -- it is always appreciated!

Even though we have a self.has_pulp set to True, we can access it directly, or through a method like squeeze.
One other thing you can look into is the "@property" decorator which changes it up a little more. Even though there is a method declared pulp_filled. It does not require parenthesis to access from the instantiated object.

>>> class Orange:
... has_pulp = True
... def squeeze(self):
... return self.has_pulp
... @property
... def pulp_filled(self):
... return self.has_pulp
...
>>> o = Orange()
>>> o.has_pulp
True
>>> o.squeeze
<bound method Orange.squeeze of <__main__.Orange instance at 0x027ABF30>>
>>> o.squeeze()
True
>>> o.pulp_filled
True
