hello,
I tried to find an easy way to add properties (attributes) to a number
of different components.
So I wrote a class, from which all these components are derived.
By trial and error I created the code below, which now works, but
there is one thing I don't understand:
in the line indicated with "<<== 1" I'm not allowed to use
for item in self.extra_gett ers :
because it will result in an infinite recursion.
But in the line indicated with "<<== 2" , I am allowed ...
.... why is this allowed ??
thanks,
Stef Mientki

When the instance is created
self.extra_sett ers = {}
in the __init__() method triggers
self.__setattr_ _("extra_setter s", {})
which executes
for item in self.extra_sett ers:
# ...
in the __setattr__() method. Because at that point there is no extra_setters
attribute
self.__dict__["extra_sett ers"]
fails and self.__getattr_ _("extra_setter s") is used as a fallback. Now as
__getattr__() contains a self.extra_gett ers attribute access and that
attribute doesn't exist either this again triggers
self.__getattr_ _("extra_getter s") -- ad infinitum.
By the way, looping over a dictionary destroys its key advantage, O(1)
lookup. Use
# untested
if attr in self.extra_sett ers:
self.extra_sett ers[attr](value)
else:
self.__dict__[attr] = value
and something similar in __getattr__().

thanks Peter,
for your perfect explanation, and

yes, that's probably much better, have to get used to this Python behavior,
thanks,

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...

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__"

Hi,
In the Python documentation regarding __getattribute__ (more attribute
access for new style classes) it is mentioned that if __getattribute__
is defined __getattr__ will never be called (unless called explicitely).
Here is the exact citation:
"""
The following methods only apply to new-style classes.
__getattribute__( self, name)

Maybe I just don't know the right special function, but what I am wanting to
do is write something akin to a __getattr__ function so that when you try to
call an object method that doesn't exist, it get's intercepted *along with
it's argument*, in the same manner as __getattr__ intercepts attributes
references for attributes that don't exist.
This doesn't quite work:

I tried to write a decorator for that should be for methods but for

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.
