There are three ways as I see it: using __getattr__, using a new init, or using a property decorator. The last two are probably the most pythonic, but I'm not familiar with decorators, so here's how I'd do the second of the three:
try: from google.appengine.api.urlfetch import fetch except: from urllib import urlopen class fetch(urlopen): def __init__(self, *args): urlopen.__init__(self, *args) self.content = self.read() This probably doesn't behave exactly the same way as the google class, but it should be similar enough? --- Richard "Roadie Rich" Lovely, part of the JNP|UK Famile www.theJNP.com 2008/12/20 Omer <jaggojaggo...@gmail.com>: > Hey. > > I'm trying to do something I think is basic and am failing. > > The goal is: > [mimicking the google urlopen syntax] > > try: > from google.appengine.api.urlfetch import fetch > except: > from urllib import urlopen as fetch > > > How do I add this "fetch" the property of content? > > I basically want fetch(url.com).content to replace urlopen(url.com).read() > > Mind, content is not a method. > > Thoughts? > > Thx.
