I have a subclassable type implemented in C, which has a 'value'
attribute implemented in the tp_getset slot. The type is named c_long.
The value attribute accepts and returns integers.
Now I want to derive a subclass 'BOOL' (in Python) from it, where the
'value' attribute should accept and return bool instances:
from ctypes import c_long
class BOOL(c_long):
def _get_value(self ):
return bool(c_long.val ue.__get__(self ))
# this also works:
# return bool(super(BOOL , self).value)
def _set_value(self , val):
c_long.value.__ set__(self, val)
# this does not work:
# super(BOOL, self).value = val
value = property(_get_v alue, _set_value)
I had expected the commented out super() calls to also do the work, but
at least in the _set_value method it does not work:
File "c:\sf\ctypes\w in32\wintypes.p y", line 37, in _set_value
super(BOOL, self).value = val
TypeError: 'super' object has only read-only attributes (assign to .value)
The c_long.value.__ get__ and c_long.value.__ set__ variants work, but
they look strange - is there a better way?
Thanks,

A bug on SF just like this just got closed, and this text added to the
documentation:
Note that \function{super } is implemented as part of the binding
process for explicit dotted attribute lookups such as \samp{super(C,
self).__getitem __(name)}. Accordingly, \function{super } is
undefined for implicit lookups using statements or operators such as
\samp{super(C, self)[name]}.
So you should write
super(BOOL, self).__setattr __('value', val)
or similar.
The c_long.value.__ get__ and c_long.value.__ set__ variants work, but they look strange - is there a better way?
I guess super(BOOL, BOOL).value.__s et__() might work too... haven't
tried it, though.
I also note that the documentation for super() starts off with
Return the superclass of \var{type}.
which is wrong, and that super() is documented in libfuncs.tex, which
is also wrong. Some bug reports are coming up!
Cheers,

Hi all !
There's a question I've been bothering for a while:
I'm actually developing architectural frameworks for application
developing and I think virtual methods, although needed because of the
flexibility they introduce (flexibility really needed in framework
developing), are often a nuisance for final developers. They don't
like them because they never know if base class must be called and
where should they place the call if...

My experience has been mainly with Delphi 5 (not .Net).

In other words, override the the property without changing the functionality of the base property and without explicitly having to reimplement the get and set methods to make it do...

The Object class has five non final methods namely equals, hashCode, toString, clone, and finalize.
These were designed to be overridden according to specific general contracts. Other classes that make use of these methods assume that the methods obey these contracts so it is necessary to ensure that if your classes override these methods, they do so correctly.
In this article I'll take a look at the equals and hashCode methods.

Hello everyone,
I had read somewhere that it is preferred to use
self.__class__.attribute over ClassName.attribute to access class (aka
static) attributes. I had done this and it seamed to work, until I
subclassed a class using this technique and from there on things started
screwing up. I finally tracked it down to self.__class__.attribute! What
was happening is that the child classes each over-rode the class
attribute at their level,...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
