Sorry, I just started experimenting on Python classes... Is there any way a reference to a class attribute ([class].[attribute]) be treated like a method ([class].[method]())?
I have a class with DB component. Some of its attributes are derived from DB and I find it impractical to derive all at once upon __init__. Of course we can use dictionary-like syntax ([class]["[attribute]"]) and use __getitem__, checking for existence and None of the attribute before deriving the value from the DB. But I think [class].[attribute] is more conventional (Is it?). Or someone suggest a more Pythonic way.
