arguments of a function/metaclass

[rubbishemail]

Hello,


I have a member function with many (20) named arguments

def __init__(self,a=1,b=2):
self.a=a
self.b=b

I would like to get rid of the many redundant lines like self.a=a and
set the members automatically.
The list of default arguments could be given like

def __init__(**kwargs):
arglist={"a":1,"b":2]

if this makes things easier

Of course there has to be a check that raises an error in case of an
unknown argument not mentioned in this list.


I am sure there is an elegant way how to do this, could you give me any
hints???


Many thanks



Daniel

If it's a long list of arguments, it will stay a long list (i. e.
representation) of arguments, whatever you do. You could minimize your
layout, though, to e. g. use a decorator that takes a list of arguments
automatically saved to self.
But that's just a "layout" (or design) issue and it will stay clumsy,
whatever you do (perhaps splitting up the dict to many lines will make
it more readable, but that's it).

To bring up a more liberate attempt, why don't you just save *all* args
received (self.__dict__.update(kwargs)). If the user provides more
arguments -- nevermind!
You would have to do something about default values though and here you
got to use the list again, first updating self.__dict__ with the list
and afterwards with kwargs.

A simply solution:

def __init__(self, a=1, b=2, c=3, ......):
for key, val in locals().items():
if key != 'self':
setattr(self.__class__, key, val)

in addition:

def set(self, **kwarg):
for key in kwargs:
if hasattr(self.__class__, key):
setattr(self.__class__, key, kwargs[key])
else:
raise ....

This solution is appropriate with use of proprieties.

if key != 'self':
setattr(self.__class__, key, val)

in addition:

setattr(self.__class__, key, kwargs[key])
else:
raise ....

Why setattr(self.__class__,...) instead of setattr(self, ...)? You're
modifying the class attributes, and that's not usually intended.

My error. Post was written directly. Sorry.
