Hi!
I'm relatively new to Python, so maybe there is an obvious answer to my
question, that I just didn't find, yet.
I've got quite some classes (from a data model mapped with SQL-Alchemy)
that can be instatiated using kwargs for the attribute values. Example:
class User(object):
def __init__(self, name=None):
self.name = name
u = User(name="user name")
Writing such constructors for all classes is very tedious.
So I subclass them from this base class to avoid writing these constructors:
class AutoInitAttributes(object):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
for k, v in kwargs.items():
getattr(self, k) # assure that the attribute exits
setattr(self, k, v)
Is there already a standard lib class doing (something like) this?
Or is it even harmful to do this?
Although I cannot see any problems with it, I feel very unsafe about
that, because I've not seen this (in the few lines from some tutorials)
before.
Regards
