__setattr__ and __getattr__ with derived classes

class base:
def __setattr__(sel f,attr,key,*une xpected):
print "Base Class :",attr,key,une xpected,self.__ dict__
self.__dict__[attr] = key
def __getattr__(sel f,attr,*unexpec ted):
print "Base Class :",attr,unexpec ted,self.__dict __
return self.__dict__[attr]

class derived(base):
def __setattr__(sel f,attr,key,*une xpected):
print "Derived Class :",attr,key,une xpected,self.__ dict__
self.__dict__[attr] = key
## def __getattr__(sel f,attr,*unexpec ted):
## print "Derived Class :",attr,unexpec ted
## return self.__dict__[attr]
if __name__ == '__main__':
c = derived()
d = base()
print 'No Init yet'
def init(self):
print 'inside init'
self.test = None
self.test1 = 'string'
self.test2 = 2
print self.test
print self.test1
print self.test2
def init2(self):
print 'inside init 2'
self.test = None
self.test3 = 'string'
self.test4 = 2
print self.test
## print self.test1
## print self.test2
base.__dict__['__init__'] = init
c = derived()
d = base()
c.test
d.test
print "Base Had init"
derived.__dict_ _['__init__'] = init2
c = derived()
d = base()
print c.test1
print d.test1

look at the self.__dict__ in __init__ method
Base Class : test2 2 () {'test': None, 'test1': 'string'}

Now how did it change to
Base Class : test1 () {'test': None, 'test3': 'string', 'test4': 2}
in __getattr_ method?
I get a key error after this point. the dictionary contents in base
class were just fine in the __init__ method. but when i call the
__getattr__ python is giving me a different dictionary!!!

Can someone explain what is happening?
i am using python 2.3.3

Hi there, please excuse my rather lengthy post. With introduction of the new style classes, something seems to have changed for __getattr__ hooks, even for classic classes: getattr.py: class A: # classic! def __getattr__(self, attr): print "-->A.__getattr__"

Can custom __setattr__ methods and properties be mixed in new style classes? I experimented with a new style class with both a custom __setattr__ method and a property. Attributes controlled by the __setattr__ method work fine. When I attempt to set or get the property it raises the error: "TypeError: _settext() takes exactly two arguments (1 given)". This suggests that the __setattr__ may be conflicting with assignment to the property...

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?

Hi all, I am trying to redefine __setattr__. The base class is in a library (actually, it is win32com.client.DispatchBaseClass) and I do not want to touch it. My problem is exemplified below. To my surprise, __setattr__ and __str__ behave differently; I can redefine __str__ and the inherited __str__ is still the redefined one. But redefining __setattr__ on the base class does not get inherited. In Base.__dict__ the __setattr__ is the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.
