Help setting default class attributes

[rh0dium]

Hi all,

I have the following piece of code and I wanted to set the default
attributes based on a dictionary. What I am looking for is a way to
take PIPODEFAULTS and assign each one as an attribute for the class
pipo. Can someone show me how to do this by iterating over the
PIPODEFAULTS and assign them. What I would expect to be able to do is
call the class and modify them.

example:
a = pipo()
print a.caseSensitivity
"preserve"

a.caseSensitivity = "lower"
print a.caseSensitivity
"lower"

Lastly - here is my code:
class pipo:

PIPODEFAULTS={ "caseSensitivity" : "preserve","cellMapTable" :
"","checkPolygon" : "nil","compression" : "none",
"convertDot" : "ignore","convertPathToPoly" :
"nil","convertToGeo" : "nil","dumpPcellInfo" : "nil",
"snapToGrid" : "nil","techFileChoice" :
"nil","units": "micron","useParentXYforText" : "nil","viewName" :
"layout",
}

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
"""This simply will run a PIPO stream out
"""
# Setup Logging
self.pipoargs=self.setdefaults()

def setdefaults(self):
for x in self.PIPODEFAULTS:
self.log.debug("Setting %s to %s" % (x,
self.PIPODEFAULTS[x]))

Use the setattr(...) function.

example:
a = pipo()
print a.caseSensitivity
"preserve"

a.caseSensitivity = "lower"
print a.caseSensitivity
"lower"

Lastly - here is my code:

class pipo:

PIPODEFAULTS={ "caseSensitivity" : "preserve","cellMapTable" :
"","checkPolygon" : "nil","compression" : "none",
"convertDot" : "ignore","convertPathToPoly" :
"nil","convertToGeo" : "nil","dumpPcellInfo" : "nil",
"snapToGrid" : "nil","techFileChoice" :
"nil","units": "micron","useParentXYforText" : "nil","viewName" :
"layout",
}

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
"""This simply will run a PIPO stream out
"""
# Setup Logging
self.pipoargs=self.setdefaults()
def setdefaults(self):
for x in self.PIPODEFAULTS:
self.log.debug("Setting %s to %s" % (x,
self.PIPODEFAULTS[x]))

def setdefaults(self):
for key, val in self.PIPODEFAULTS.iteritems():
setattr(self, key, val)

OR (but I prefer the one above)

def setdefaults(self):
self.__dict__.update(self.PIPODEFAULTS)

I infer from your example that you want
to set default attributes for *instances of* class pipo
(not for class pipo itself).

Use setattr:

class pipo(object):
PIPODEFAULTS = {'caseSensitivity':'preserve',
'cellMapTable':'checkPolygon', # etc
}
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
for attr, value in pipo.PIPODEFAULTS.iteritems():
setattr(self, attr, value)

a = pipo()
b = pipo()
print a.caseSensitivity
a.caseSensitivity = 'lower'
print a.caseSensitivity
print b.caseSensitivity

Hope this helps,

Hey this is great!!! Simple and clear. I appreciate it!!
