Sorry, this works with globals(), but not with locals().
There isn't a simple way to fiddle the locals (the number
is determined when the function is built).
I do, however, agree with you about what to use. I use:
class Data(object):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
for name, value in kwargs.iteritems():
setattr(self, name, value)
def __repr__(self):
return '%s(%s)' % (type(self).__name__, ', '.join(
['%s=%r' % (name, getattr(self, name))
for name in dir(self) if name[0] != '_']))
When I want to fiddle with named values.
el = Data(a=5, b='3')
el.c = el.a + float(el.b)
setattr(el, 'other', getattr(el, 'a') + getattr(el, 'c'))
el
