Re: Python descriptor protocol (for more or less structured data)

Peter, thanks for your response. Sure, you are right when you say that's easier to use standard attribute assigning via __init__. But my intention was: - reducing the complexiticity of __init__ - avoiding boiler-plates (mostly property descriptors inside of the main class) - creating instances (f

Python descriptor protocol (for more or less structured data)

Hi together, Some years ago I started a small WSGI project at my university. Since then the project was grown up every year. Some classes have more than 600 lines of code with (incl. boiler-plates mostly in descriptors/properties). Many of these properties are similar or have depencies among t
