Hey, It is much more clean to write *session.var* than *session['var']* when I can, as well as *if session.var* instead of *if hasattr(session, 'var')*, and I would like to use this style of coding generally in python, if it can remain pythonic.
I've been looking into using classes to store values, just like for example session does in web2py. I found on stack overflow that it might not be pythonic, it is not recommended by some experienced programmers. After trying many ways to do this, none of the ways I tried created classes with instances. In other words, if I would make two instances of my class they would share attribute values. Setting *myobject2.var* would also set *myobject.var* to the same value. Now in web2py these objects (session, request.vars) are used as predefined instances -- they are not normally used for making your own instances. This way they could be their own type of class (I didn't look into it). Perhaps this keeps things pythonic, or did you web2py developers find a pythonic and sustainable way to create your own dict objects? Ps. Even though I could think of ways to deal with the issue of shared attributes, I wouldn't really like to write a new class, as there are many cases which need to be handled. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
