However I don't want to put the data in the identifier list, but just the reference to the attributes.
My general problem is to find a way to define subsets of instance attributes (for example the identifier), so that at later time I can just iterate over the subset. In the meantime I found a 90% solution to the problem through lambdas.. See now the code below: maybe you'll understand my point better. Thanks and Regs, Davide class ObjectClass: """ Test primary Key assignment """ def alias(self,key): return lambda: self.__dict__[key] def __init__(self): self.Identifier=[] def getPK(self): return [ GetPKValue() for GetPKValue in self.Identifier ] if __name__ == "__main__": ObjectClassInstantiated=ObjectClass() ObjectClassInstantiated.AnAttribute='First PK Elem' ObjectClassInstantiated.AnotherOne='Second PK Elem' ObjectClassInstantiated.Identifier.append(ObjectClassInstantiated.alias('AnAttribute')) ObjectClassInstantiated.Identifier.append(ObjectClassInstantiated.alias('AnotherOne')) print ObjectClassInstantiated.getPK() ObjectClassInstantiated.AnAttribute='First PK Elem Changed' print ObjectClassInstantiated.getPK() >./test.py ['First PK Elem', 'Second PK Elem'] ['First PK Elem Changed', 'Second PK Elem'] --> correct now! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
