Attempt to set ACL returns "object has no attribute 'ACL'"

    answer.User = user
    answer.ACL.set_user(user, read=True, write=True)
    answer.ACL.set_default(read=True)
    answer.ACL.set_role('admin', read=True, write=True)
    answer.save();

returns:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “./fix_Question.py”, line 32, in <module> answer.ACL.set_user(user, read=True, write=True) File “/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/parse_rest-0.2.20141004-py2.7.egg/parse_rest/datatypes.py”, line 326, in getattr return object.getattribute(self, attr) #preserve default if attr not exists AttributeError: ‘Question’ object has no attribute ‘ACL’

This is indeed a bug that happens when first trying to set the ACL for an object. I’ve gotten around this using, as written for your example:

answer.ACL = ACL({user.objectId: {'read': True, 'write': True}})

Subsequently, the ACL can be set and retrieved using the method described in the docs.

Workaround seems to work. Thanks!
