Given a class with some protected members and a public interface to modify them, when is it generally accepted to access the protected members directly? I have some specific examples in mind:
Unit testing
Internal private methods such as __add__ or __cmp__ accessing other's protected attributes
Recursive data structures (e.g. accessing next._data in a linked list)
I don't want to make these attributes public as I don't want them touched publicly. My syntax IDE syntax highlighting keeps saying that I'm wrong with accessing protected members - who is right here?
EDIT - adding a simple example below:
class Complex:
def __init__(self, imaginary, base):
self._imaginary = imaginary
self._base = base
def __str__(self):
return "%fi + %f" % self._base, self._imaginary
def __add__(self, other):
return Complex(self._imaginary + other._imaginary, self._base + other._base)
Pycharm highlights other._imaginary and other._base with the following:
Access to a protected member _imaginary of a class
解决方案
Solved - the problem was actually to do with lack of type-hinting. The below now works:
class Complex:
def __init__(self, imaginary, base):
self._imaginary = imaginary
self._base = base
def __str__(self):
return "%fi + %f" % self._base, self._imaginary
def __add__(self, other):
"""
:type other: Complex
:rtype Complex:
"""
return Complex(self._imaginary + other._imaginary, self._base + other._base)
