I don't really know how decorators work, but wouldn't it be possible to
write a decorator that would let you define functions like this:
class Human:
def __init__(my, name):
my.stomach_state = 'empty'
my.name = name
@wackydecorator
def is_hungry(I, my):
print "%s stomach is %s" % (my.name, my.stomach_state)
if my.stomach_state != 'full':
I.eat()
def eat(my):
my.stomach_state = 'full'
kirby = Human("Kirby")
kirby.is_hungry()
kirby.is_hungry()
====
so basically the decorator would duplicate the first argument twice so
that you could transparently get two (or more) names for it... I don't
know how to write decorators (and can't really spend time learning here
at work), but something like this:
def wackydecorator(func, *args):
return func(args[0], *args)
I think that would do the trick.
