也许你想要这样的东西？

class Map(object):

 def __init__(self):

    self.quips = [
        "You died. You suck at this.",
        "Your mom would be proud, if she were smarter",
        "Such a luser.",
        "I have a small puppy that s better at this."
    ]

 def death(self): 
    print self.quips[randint (0, len(self.quips)-1)]
    exit(1)

 def princess_lives_here(self):
    print "You see a beautiful Princess with a shiny crown."
    print "She offers you some cake."

    eat_it = raw_input(">")

    if eat_it == "eat it":
        print "You explode like a pinata full of frogs."
        print "The Princess cackles and eats the frogs. Yum!"
        return  death 

    elif eat_it == "do not eat it":
        print "She throws the cake at you and it cuts off your head."
        print "The last thing you see is her munching on your face. Yum!"
        return  death 

    elif eat_it == "make her eat it":
        print "The Princess screams as you cram the cake in her mouth."
        print "Then she smiles and cries and thank you for saving her."
        print "She points to a tiny door and says,  The Koi needs cake too. "
        print "She gives you the very last bit of cake and shoves you in."
        return  gold_koi_pond 

    else:
        print "The Princess looks at you confused and just points at the cake."
        return  princess_lives_here 

class Engine(object):

 def __init__(self, map, start):
    self.quips = [
        "You died. You suck at this.",
        "Your mom would be proud, if she were smarter",
        "Such a luser.",
        "I have a small puppy that s better at this."
    ]
    self.map = map
    self.start = start

 def play(self):
    next = self.start

    while True:
        print "
-----"
        room = getattr(self.map, next)
    next = room()

def __init__(self, start, quips):

。。。

e = Engine(m, "princess_lives_here")

这是你的问题。第二行使用参数m和“princess_lives_here”调用init。第一个参数应该是“princess_lives_here”，第二个应该是“quips”列表。

若要返回对象的命名属性的值，必须提供属性名称的字符串。

room = getattr(self,  next )

From the python docs: getattr(object, name[, default])

返回对象的命名属性的值。名称必须是字符串。如果字符串是对象某个属性的名称，那么结果就是该属性的值。例如，getattr（x，foobar）相当于x.foobar。如果命名属性不存在，则在提供时返回默认值，否则将引发AttributeError。

self.start是Map的一个实例，但getattr（）的第二个参数必须是字符串，即属性的名称。

此外，实例方法应该将“self”作为第一个参数。

错误消息实际上非常清楚地告诉了您这里的错误：-）

room = getattr(self, next)

应该沿着

room = getattr(self,  next )

如Python文档

但这只是问题的一部分。如果我猜对了您在代码示例中遗漏的内容，您可能还需要向映射对象添加__call__方法。否则room=getattr（self，next）就没有那么大意义了：-）好吧，还有这里可能缺少的其他代码；-）

此外，Map类上的所有方法定义都缺少“self”参数。
