Hello again, I have a dictionary with the following content :
'LZ': {'type': 'N', 'bytes': '00008'}, 'LVI000': {'type': 'N', 'bytes': '000010'} This could be seen as a interface description to deal with an external program that needs a 18 Byte communication area. 8 and 18 Bytes have to be interpreted as a "Number" String representation. eg like '00000180000000200' means LZ = 180 and LVI000 = 200 I am now thinking about doing the following class a .... def some_crap () ... for key in dict.keys (): setattr (self, key, value) so that pgm = a () pgm.LZ = 300 would cause the rekonstruktion of the byte field. ===>> Properties My first try is : fget = lambda self: mygetattr(self, attrname) fset = lambda self, value: mysetattr (self, attrname, value) fdel = lambda self: mydelattr(self, attrname) # fget, fset, fdel are used to reconstruct the byte field setattr (self, key, property (fget, fset, fdel)) :-) This inserts me pgm.LZ and pgm.LVI000 but when trying to access print pgm.LZ it gives me <property object at 0x4028102c> What am I doing wrong here Regards Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
