Why use decorators when a metaclass will already do the trick, and
save you a line? This doesn't necessarily get around Antoine's
complaint that it looks like self refers to the wrong type, but I'm
not convinced anyone would be confused.
class MetaProperty(type):
def __new__(cls, name, bases, dct):
if bases[0] is object: # allow us to create class Property
return type.__new__(cls, name, bases, dct)
return property(dct.get('get'), dct.get('set'),
dct.get('delete'), dct.get('__doc__'))
def __init__(cls, name, bases, dct):
if bases[0] is object:
return type.__init__(cls, name, bases, dct)
class Property(object):
__metaclass__ = MetaProperty
class Test(object):
class foo(Property):
"""The foo property"""
def get(self): return self._foo
def set(self, val): self._foo = val
def delete(self): del self._foo
test = Test()
test.foo = 'Yay!'
assert test._foo == 'Yay!'
