Hello, I want to set up descriptors at runtine, but it isn't working the way i would expect. Does anybody know if this is possible? Here is an example:
class Descriptor(object): def __init__(self, name) : self.val=0 self.name = name def __get__(self, obj, objtype): print 'Retrieving', self.name return self.val def __set__(self, obj, val): print 'Updating' , self.name self.val = val class TestDesc (object): x=Descriptor ("x") def __init__ (self): self.y=Descriptor("y") And Usage: >>> test=TestDesc() >>> test.x=0 Updating x >>> test.x=4 Updating x >>> test.x Retrieving x 4 >>> test.y <descriptor.Descriptor object at 0x00B3A5F0> When i access y, it appears to be a regular object and not a descriptor type object like x. Is there a way to make y work the same as x but setting it up during object creation? thanks, brian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
