Hi all,
What's the recommended way to restrict input? For instance, I store a
phone number as an integer, and I need it to have 7, 10, or 11 digits.
In its getter, I format it so it looks good as a string, and in its
setter, I take the string the user inputs, strip only the integers,
and store those.
To inforce my length restriction, I have it set up something like this:
class Customer(base):
_phone = Column("phone", Integer)
@property
def phone(self):
#return pretty string
@phone.setter
def phone(self, value):
#intsInPhone is a list of the integers in "value"
if len(intsInPhone) not in [7, 10, 11]: #invalid length
raise ValueError, "Phone numbers must be 7, 10, or 11 digits"
Is there a way I should do this instead? I had to make properties
anyway, since user-inputted values are coming from a dialog and will
always be strings--I had to convert them to the proper types, and
output formatted strings in some cases. I figured this was a good
place for a little validation while I was at it.
