Hi,
Does Javascript have any equivalent to Python's __getattr__ and
__setattr__ methods?
In other words, the option to define a method of a class that gets invoked
whenever someone tries to fetch an unknown attribute, or set any attribute
of an instance of that class?
I've looked at __defineGetter_ _, __defineSetter_ _, __lookupGetter_ _ and
__lookupSetter_ _. It did seem like __lookupGetter_ _ and __lookupSetter_ _
might have been helpful, but they only seem to return methods that have
already been set with __defineGetter_ _ and __defineSetter_ _.
I need a way for an object to invoke a method when any attempt is being
made to fetch an attribute of that object (or, similar to Python, to fetch
an unknown attribute).
Cheers

No. There is a relevant thread here:

The most relevant response was from petermichaux:

I think you want to use a setter method to encapsulate the change and
whatever else needs to happen. So for a class you write yourself.
Foo.prototype.s etDescription = function(val) {
if (this.validate( val)) {
this.descriptio n = val;
// now do other stuff here.
}
};
Perhaps you have to wrap the browser provided objects in your own class
so that you can then have a setter method. :

In adding the ability to refer to field values using dbfFile.field
notation, I learned how to use __getattr__ and __setattr__ . After some
trial and error, I got it working. But as part of my trials, I added
some print statements to debug stuff. The ones I added to __setattr__
work as expected, but the one in __getattr__ seems to get called just
under 1000 times for every __getattr__ call!
Something is obviously not right here - but...

Hey good people,
I've been doing a lot of simultaneous Jython and CPython programming lately,
and just wanted to say, with no intended ill will toward any of the
individuals who have been generous enough to make the two languages
possible, that, well, they're kinda different.
I guess it was inevitable, but with Jython stuck at Python 2.1, it's not
really the same language as CPython is today. You still have to type "from

Hi!
I'm looking for suggestions on object-based inheritance
in Python. Automatic forwarding (often called delegation)
in Python is easy:
def __getattr__(self, attr):
return getattr(self.delegatee, attr)
def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
return setattr(self.delegatee, attr, value)
