Using a decorator works when named arguments are not used. When named arguments
are used, unexpected keyword error is reported. Is there a simple fix?
Thanks to all,
Bruce
Code:
-
from functools import wraps
def fix_args(fn):
@wraps(fn)
def wrapper(*args):
args = (arg.replace('_', '') for arg in args)
return fn(*args)
return wrapper
@fix_args
def foo(a1="", a2="", b1="", b2=""):
print(a1)
print(a2)
print(b1)
print(b2)
foo ('a1a1_x', 'a2a2_x', 'b1b1_x', 'b2b2_x')
foo (a1='a1a1_x', a2='a2a2_x', b1='b1b1_x', b2='b2b2_x')
Results:
a1a1x
a2a2x
b1b1x
b2b2x
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\WORK\masterDB_Update\argtest.py", line 19, in
foo (a1='a1a1_x', a2='a2a2_x', b1='b1b1_x', b2='b2b2_x')
TypeError: wrapper() got an unexpected keyword argument 'a1'

I am not familiar with the repr statement.
Looking into your response, I like it.
There is no need to add-in the parentheses.
With the repr statment:
>>> bb = repr (tuple (int (i) for i in s [1: -1] .split (',')))
>>> bb
'(128, 20, 8, 255, -1203, 1, 0, -123)'
>>> type(bb)
>>>
Without the repr statement:
>>> aa = (tuple (int (i) for i in s [1: -1] .split (',')))
>>> aa
(128, 20, 8, 255, -1203, 1, 0, -123)
>>> type(aa)
>>>
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Dieter,
After reading your response, I picked up on the 'attribute' word.
Updated case 3: (Success)
indata = 'tiger'
setattr (animal, indata, "Tigers, big and strong!!!")
print (animal.tiger)
animal.tiger = "Lions are bigger and stronger"
print (animal.tiger)
Output is:
Tigers, big and strong!!!
Lions are bigger and stronger
I am still working on case 4 using setattr.
Thanks,
Bruce
