My
projects rely on a lot of metaclassing for the automatic generation of
properties and methods, which saves tremendous amounts of coding.
If you use it a lot, it is likely 1) you have abused class syntax for
what should have been a dict or 2) what you need is to override
__getattr__/__getattribute__ and __setattr__
I have to totally disagree here. The way the OP uses metaprogramming is
a really common and handy solution in lots of frameworks, and
drastically reduces the need for boilerplate (and the potential for
bugs). It's *WAY* cleaner (readability, introspection, doc etc) and far
less error-prone than going the __getattr(ibute)__ / __setattr__, and
also way more efficient (from execution time POV).
Using __getattr__ and __setattr__ to emulate attributes (usually
descriptors) that can be built at class creation time is IMHO what
should be labeled as an "abuse" (at best).
