I have worked with both C# and Python for a while now and there is one feature of C# I'm missing in the Python language.
This feature is the "nameof" operator. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/nameof). The place I use this the most in C# is in `ToString()` methods or logging messages. This makes sure the developer cannot forget to update the name of a member. As an example I created this `Person` class. ``` class Person: def __init__(self, name, age): self.name = name self.age = age def __repr__(self): return f"Person(name: {self.name}, age: {self.age})" ``` With the `nameof` operator this would look like the following: ``` class Person: def __init__(self, name, age): self.name = name self.age = age def __repr__(self): return f"{nameof(Person)}({nameof(self.name)}: {self.name}, {nameof(self.age)}: {self.age})" ``` What do you think about this? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/UUFFAI3FZMQRVPDCUPZEOAZCRNXKWFDE/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
