Implement logic on object.attribute and object.attribute()

[Marc Aymerich]

Hi,
I'm playing with python internals to make objects behave like this:

if I access to "object.attribute" I want to return the result of an
HTTP GET request. However if i call "object.attribute()" I want an
HTTP POST request to be executed.

So far I have been able to do the POST part, using two classes like this:

class HTTPAttribute(object):
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name

def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
url = BASE_URL + self.name
requests.post(url, *args, **kwargs)


class HTTPObject(object):
def __getattr__(self, name):
return HTTPAttribute(name)


But I'm stuck implementing the HTTP GET request when accessing
"object.attribute", Any idea ??

Thanks!!
