i'm really stuck trying to change values for an object of type 'Parcel', which comes from the openmetaverse library i'm using. how this library is implemented i don't have control over, but the given interface is to make local changes to these Parcel objects, then use its Update() method to commit the changes. but it seems in IronPython i can't change these objects.
>>> type(props) <type 'Parcel'> >>> props.Name = "Yes" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: cannot assign to value types after hours of struggling, i found http://ironpython.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Value%20Types which seems to explain why i'm being bit here. bit it also says "updates are still possible via instance methods on the value type itself." so isn't "__setattr__" an instance method? seems i'm not able to use that either: >>> props.__setattr__("Name", "Yes") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: Attempt to update field 'Name' on value type 'Parcel'; value type fields cannot be directly modified ok, so what are my options? how do i get around this? i *have* to be able to update objects of this type somehow. i can create a new object of that type, but the constructor doesn't allow me to pre-stock it with values ( since i guess it assumes i'll be able to change them later), and then of course once it's created i can't change anything. -- Cheers, László _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
