Hi, I am initialising an object via the following:
def __init__(self, config): self.connection = None self.source_name = config['source_name'] self.server_host = config['server_host'] self.server_port = config['server_port'] self.user_base = config['user_base'] self.user_identifier = config['user_identifier'] self.group_base = config['group_base'] self.group_identifier = config['group_identifier'] self.owner_base = config['owner_base'] However, some entries in the configuration might be missing. What is the best way of dealing with this? I could of course simply test each element of the dictionary before trying to use. I could also just write self.config = config but then addressing the elements will add more clutter to the code. However, with a view to asking forgiveness rather than permission, is there some simple way just to assign the dictionary elements which do in fact exist to self-variables? Or should I be doing this completely differently? Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under constuction. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
