Lesson7-human-numbers.ipynb: ItemLists().label_for_lm()

Class ItemLists doesn’t have method “label_for_lm”. “label_for_lm” is the method of Class TextList.

Could someone explain why the code “ItemLists(path=path, train=train, valid=valid).label_for_lm()” can work?

It would work if train and valid are TextList since the function label_for_lm is delegated there.

Yes, I found that. ItemLists will call getattr method to use TextList.label_for_lm, and change the class of ItemLists to LabelLists. That’s really cool!
