I've created a class that has a property which points at a private
list. When I try to use the append() function on this list property,
the fget method is fired rather than the fset method. If I directly
set my property to a literal list, the set method fires.
Here's a stripped down version of my code:
class Hierarchy(object):
_children = []
def __init__(self):
return
def get_children(self):
print("GETTING")
return self._children
def set_children(self, value):
print("SETTING")
self._children = value
children = property(get_children, set_children)
-----USAGE------
import Hierarchy
hierarchy = Hierarchy.Hierarchy()
# this fires a get for some reason
hierarchy.children.append( Hierarchy.Hierarchy())
# this fires a set as expected
hierarchy.children = [Hierarchy.Hierarchy()]
------RESULT------
it prints:
GETTING
SETTING
