There is a syntactic sugar for item access in
dictionaries and sequences:
o[e] = v <-> o.__setitem__(e, v)
o[e] <-> o.__getitem__(e)
where e is an expression.
There is no similar way for set/get attribute for objects.
If e is a given name, then
o.e = v <-> o.__setattr__(e, v)
o.e <-> o.__getattr__(e)
Anybody thought about this issue?
We could write something like this:
o.[e] = v
o.[e]
or
o.(e) = v
o.(e)
in this case.
For example:
setattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata,
method_name)) -->
self.(method_name) = self.metadata.(method_name)
setattr(command_obj, neg_opt[option], not
strtobool(value)) -->
command_obj.(neg_opt[option]) = not strtobool(value)
setattr(self, '%s_open' % type,
lambda r, proxy=url, type=type,
meth=self.proxy_open:
meth(r, proxy, type)) -->
self.('%s_open' % type) =
lambda r, proxy=url, type=type,
meth=self.proxy_open: meth(r, proxy, type)
