Don't Orange objects have the has_pulp attirbute equal to True and doesn't the squeeze method return has_pulp?

class Orange:
has_pulp = True
def squeeze(self):
return has_pulp
>>> Orange().squeeze()
#Traceback
#NameError: name 'has_pulp' is not defined
class Orange:
def squeeze(self):
has_pulp = True
return has_pulp
>>> Orange().squeeze()
True

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,419 PointsRan into the same issue on this problem and took me a while to figure out
From testing it there is a missing self on the has_pulp in the squeeze method.
To get the code running correctly make the following change to the original code:
class Orange(Fruit):
has_pulp = True
def squeeze(self):
return self.has_pulp
Then run the python repl and see if that works.
