Nowadays, when I get the chance, I tend to prefer accessing data either via
a dictionary, or a dictionary-like interface.
data = {}
data["name"] = "Marcus"
For classes, that would then look like..
self._data["name"] = "Marcus"
For example..
widgets["button"].clicked.connect(self.on_clicked)
layout = QtWidgets.QHBoxLayout(panels["footer"])
layout.addWidget(widgets["button"])
I find this extends well to Maya attributes.
import cmdx
node, = cmdx.selection()
node["translateX"] = 5.0
print(node["rx"])
node["newAttribute"] = cmdx.Double(default=6.0)
print(node.path(namespace=True))
That way, I can have this rule.
node.doSomething()
node["storeSomething"]
I mostly avoid @property actually, I haven’t really had a good experience
with those. They’re good on paper.. I like that they prevent accidental
assignment when you e.g. misspell.
node.misspeled = "Bad"# Error
But I don’t like how much extra typing you need (like your example above),
and I most of all don’t like not knowing whether calling your @property
incurs a cost or not.
print(some_class.distance)
Did this return a precomputed distance, or was one computed as I requested
it?
At the end of the day though, most of the time I work in a code base that
isn’t mine and follow whatever convention is already established. Other
times I know the code I write will be edited by others and pick a
convention I expect will be the least surprising and the least distracting.
Your mileage may vary, as they say. :)
