OK, I'm sure the answer is staring me right in the face--whether that answer
be "you can't do that" or "here's the really easy way--but I am stuck. I'm
writing an object to proxy both lists (subscriptable iterables, really) and
dicts.
My init lookslike this:
def __init__(self, obj=None):
if type(obj).__name__ in 'list|tuple|set|frozenset':
self.me = []
for v in obj:
self.me.append(ObjectProxy(v))
elif type(obj) == dict:
self.me = {}
for k,v in obj.items():
self.me[k] = ObjectProxy(v)
and I have a __setattr__ defined like so:
def __setattr__(self, name, value):
self.me[name] = ObjectProxy(value)
You can probably see the problem.
While doing an init, self.me = {} or self.me = [] calls __setattr__, which
then ends up in an infinite loop, and even it it succeeded
self.me['me'] = {}
is not what I wanted in the first place.
Is there a way to define self.me without it firing __setattr__?
If not, it's not a huge deal, as having this class read-only for now won't
be a problem, but I was just trying to make it read/write.
Thanks!
