buildAccessor.py
You know there is something called properties in Python, don’t you??
I didn’t, and I’m used to other languages where one makes their own accessors for the properties (get and set methods, essentially).
I thought coding accessors was a very boring process, so I developed a little function to avoid it.
I gave it a SVN space, but you can just copy and paste the stable version:
def buildAccessor(list):
#Variable declarations for the constructor
for variable in list:
print(‘\t\tself.__%s = %s’ % variable)
print(”)
#getXXX accessors
for variable in list:
identifier=variable[0]
print(‘\tdef get%s(self):’ % (upper(identifier[0])+identifier[1:]))
print(‘\t\treturn self.__%s’ % (identifier))
print(”)
#setXXX accessors
for variable in list:
identifier=variable[0]
print(‘\tdef set%s(self, value):’ % (upper(identifier[0])+identifier[1:]))
print(‘\t\tself.__%s=value’ % (identifier))
if __name__==‘__main__’:
buildAccessor([
(‘optionCapitalize’,‘True’),
(‘configfile’,‘\’/etc/foo.conf\’‘),
])
And I wrote a little test:
def __init__(self):
#1. Paste the results from buildAccessor from here:
self.__optionCapitalize = True
self.__configfile = ‘/etc/foo.conf’
def getOptionCapitalize(self):
return self.__optionCapitalize
def getConfigfile(self):
return self.__configfile
def setOptionCapitalize(self, value):
self.__optionCapitalize=value
def setConfigfile(self, value):
self.__configfile=value
#until here.
#2. Change what you need here:
if __name__==‘__main__’:
test=objectFoo()
print(‘test.getConfigfile() says \’‘ + test.getConfigfile() + ‘\’‘)
test.setConfigfile(‘/home/linz/.foo’)
print(‘Now, test.getConfigfile() says \’‘ + test.getConfigfile() + ‘\’‘)
#3. Then run it and good luck!
Maybe, next time I write another function to generate this tests.
