getattr for modules not classes

Is there something analogous to __getattr__ for modules?

I know how to create a class that has attributes from a list and
nothing else by overloading __getattr__ and making sure that the
accessed attribute appears in my list. Now I would like to do the same
with a module, say x.py, in which I have a list, say mylist, and after
importing x from another module I would like to be able to say x.one(
) or x.two( ) if 'one' and 'two' are in mylist and raise an exception
if they aren't. Is this possible?

I'm confused about the use of hasattr/getattr, or possibly namespaces. I know how to do this: class UnderstandThis(object): def do_foo(self): pass def do_bar(self): pass def doit(self, cmd): funcname = 'do_' + cmd if hasattr(self, funcname): getattr(self, funcname)()

I came across this unexpected behaviour of getattr for new style classes. Example: >>> class Parrot(object): .... thing = .... >>> getattr(Parrot, "thing") is Parrot.thing True >>> getattr(Parrot, "__dict__") is Parrot.__dict__ False

Hi, Sorry in advance, english is not my main language :/ I'd like to customize the result obtained by getattr on an object : if the object has the requested property then return it BUT if the object doesn't has actually this property return something else. In my case, I can't use getattr(object, property, default_value).

Hi! In a class C, I may do setattr(C,'x',10). Is it possible to use getattr/setattr for variables not inside classes or something equivalent? I mean with the same result as exec("x=10"). Thanks.

Hi. I am trying to dynamically load a class and attributes at run time. I do not know what classes will be referenced until run time. I have it loading the module correctly, but when I use getattr to access the class and its attributes everything works except that I get additional unwanted output. The code

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
