I am new to Python and I have a question about descriptors. If I have a class as written below, is there a way to use descriptors to be certain that the datetime in start is always before the one in end?
class foo(object): def __init__(self,a = None,b = None) self.start = a self.end = b from datetime import datetime c = datetime(2009,8,13,6,15,0) d = datetime(2009,8,14,12,0,0) afoo = foo(c,d) For instance, if the following code were run, I would like to instance of foo to switch the start and end times. afoo.start = datetime(2010,8,13,6,15,0) I was thinking of using the __set__ descriptor to catch the assignment and reverse the values if necessary, but I can't figure out how to determine which values is being set.
