alias for data member of class instance?

[Sean McIlroy]

hi all

is there a way to do this ...

class clown:
def __init__(self):
self.x = 0
self.y = ALIAS(self.x) ## FEASIBLE ?

.... so that you get results like this ...

krusty = clown()
krusty.xkrusty.x = 1
krusty.x
.... ? thanks.

peace

self.y = ALIAS(self.x) ## FEASIBLE ?

The closest thing is probably to use @property.

Not sure why you want it, but here is one solution:

class clown:
def __init__(self):
self.x=0
def __getattr__(self, key):
if key == 'y': return self.x
return self.__dict__[key]

class Clown(object):

@apply

return self._x
def fset(self, value):
self._x = value
return property(**locals())

y = x
