I have class structure as below. How can I create the following nested
class
and its properties dynamically.
class AA(object):
class BB(object):
def setBB1(self, value):
##some code
def getBB1(self):
bb1 = #somecode
return bb1
bb1 = property(getBB1, setBB1, None, None)
bb2 = ...
bb = BB()
class CC(object):
....
cc = CC()
aa = AA()
First, I assume getBB1 and setBB1 really do some actual work. If they're
just accessors for an instance attribute, don't use them; don't write Java
in Python [1]
In Python, you may have instance (or "normal") attributes, and class
attributes. When you say obj.name, if name is not found as an instance
attribute, it is looked up on its class (and all its base classes; this is
how methods are searched, BTW)
Class attributes are "shared" among all instances - that is, all instances
retrieve the same object when you access a class attribute.
Your code above, as it is written, creates two class attributes named bb
and cc (they're class attributes because the statements bb=... and cc=...
are inside the class definition). It works, but perhaps that's not what
you want. If you want instance attributes instead, create them in
AA.__init__ by using self.bb=something
Nested classes provide no benefit here and are harder to use, so just move
the class definitions to the module level. The code would become:
class BB(object):
def setBB1(self, value):
##some code
def getBB1(self):
"docstring for the property"
bb1 = #somecode
return bb1
bb1 = property(getBB1, setBB1)
bb2 = ...
class CC(object):
....
class AA(object):
def __init__(self, ...):
self.bb = BB()
self.cc = CC()
Then, you can write:
aa = AA()
print aa.bb.bb1
aa.bb.bb2 = '10'
print aa.bb.bb2
