alias for data member of class instance?

[Sean McIlroy]

hi all

is there a way to do this ...

class clown:
def __init__(self):
self.x = 0
self.y = ALIAS(self.x) ## FEASIBLE ?

.... so that you get results like this ...

krusty = clown()
krusty.x

>0

krusty.y

>0

krusty.x = 1
krusty.x

>1

krusty.y

>1

.... ? thanks.

peace

The closest thing is probably to use @property.

Not sure why you want it, but here is one solution:

class clown:
def __init__(self):
self.x=0
def __getattr__(self, key):
if key == 'y': return self.x
return self.__dict__[key]
