New submission from Sabine Maennel:
I was working with descriptors and hit on an error, that I do not understand.
I attach a protocol of my interactive python session that will show you what
happened and the session is reproducible:
I had a class employing a descriptor:
class Descriptor(object):
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def __set__(self, instance, val):
print('Updating', self.name, 'for', instance)
instance.__dict__[self.name] = val
class A:
x = Descriptor('x')
def __init__(self, name, x):
self.x = x
self.name = name
def __repr__(self):
return "I am {}".format(self.name)
if defined like this it hits an error when I want to initialize it:
a = A('a', 2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "", line 4, in __init__
File "", line 5, in __set__
File "", line 7, in __repr__
AttributeError: 'A' object has no attribute 'name'
Updating x for
The error could be fixed by just exchanging the assignments in the __init__ of
A:
class A:
x = Descriptor('x')
def __init__(self, name, x):
self.name = name
self.x = x
def __repr__(self):
return "I am {}".format(self.name)
Now a = A('a', 2) works as expected. But this seems weird to me.
