adafruit_drv2605 AttributeError: object has no attribute 'try_lock'

Question

I am using a Texas Instruments DRV2605 to drive some haptic motors. I am using the Adafruit library here to communicate with the DRV through Python. I need to set some bit registers of the chip but am getting the exception in the title.

I am subclassing the DRV2605 class to overwrite a couple of bits.

Here is a sample of my code:

import adafruit_drv2605
from adafruit_drv2605 import DRV2605 as Old_DRV2506
class MY_DRV2605(Old_DRV2506):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        print('that')
        super().__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
        print('other')
        # turn on ERM_OPEN_LOOP
        control3 = self._read_u8(_DRV2605_REG_CONTROL3)
        # self._write_u8(_DRV2605_REG_CONTROL3, control3 | 0x20 | 0x01)
        self._write_u8(_DRV2605_REG_CONTROL3, control3 | 0x01)
        # self._write_u8(0x17, 0x40) # Overdrive voltage
        # self._write_u8(0x16, 0x20) # rated voltage
        # x17 = self._read_u8(0x17)
        # y16 = self._read_u8(0x16)
        print('this', x16, y17)
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
create haptic object on I2C bus
drv = adafruit_drv2605.DRV2605(i2c)
drv = MY_DRV2605(i2c)

And the exception trace:

    that
Traceback (most recent call last):

    while not self.i2c.try_lock():
AttributeError: 'MY_DRV2605' object has no attribute 'try_lock'

Does anyone know how to fix this exception please?
