Might be better to explicitly use properties for this rather than
overriding dict:
class Style(object):
__slots__ = ('_lw')
def __init__(self, lw=None):
self.lw = lw
def _set_linewidth(self, lw):
self._lw = lw
def _get_linewidth(self):
return self._lw
lw = property(_get_linewidth, _set_linewidth)
linewidth = property(_get_linewidth, _set_linewidth)
Declaring slots allows you to keep the available attributes to those
explicity listed. This way, you can't set a random (misspelled?)
attribute and wonder for hours why style.edgcolor = 'blue' doesn't
work.
