Code using property functions in KDevelop
SUMMARY
In Python, there is a concept called property functions. Where you would
typically use getter and setter methods in other programming languages, this
can be done with proteries in Python. It basically means that custom code can
be written to handle attribute access and assignment.
Here's a small, theoretical demo:
```python3
import pikepdf
class PdfHandler:
def __init__(self):
self._pdf = None
@property
def pdf(self):
if self._pdf is not None:
return self._pdf
else:
raise ValueError("No input given")
@pdf.setter
def pdf(self, file_or_data):
self._pdf = pikepdf.Pdf.open(file_or_data)
def close(self):
self._pdf.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
handler = PdfHandler()
handler.pdf = "~/Downloads/Anderes/pdfs/gimp_manual_en.pdf"
del handler.pdf.pages[4:]
handler.pdf.save("./out.pdf")
handler.close()
```
(You can read more about properties here:
https://www.learnbyexample.org/python-properties/)
KDevelop highlights property access like normal functions, which is confusing
because it implies reassigning the function. I think it would make more sense
to highlight properties like normal attributes.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Paste the above code (or any other code using property functions) into
KDevelop
2. See how the property is highlighted
OBSERVED RESULT
It has the same colour as a function call.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should have the colour of an attribute.
