python用str作为变量名,Re：使用str作为变量名

>Hi,

I have a program that take a word as argument, and I would like to

link this word to a class variable.

eg.

class foo():

You should subclass ''object'', so that should be:

class Foo(object):

> width = 10

height = 20

a=foo()

arg=''height''

a.__argname__= new_value

You''re looking for the setattr() built-in function. In this exact case:

setattr(a, arg, new_value)

This is probably covered in the Python tutorial, please read it.

Regards,

Chris

Indeed.

I''ll use:

a.__setattr__(height, new_value)

Thanks to all

Mathieu

Please don''t. Use the generic setattr() function instead. This holds for

any __magic__ method : they are *implementation* for operators and

generic functions - which you can think of as operators with a function

syntax -, and are not meant to be called directly. You wouldn''t write

something like 2.__add__(3), would you ?

Don''t give the "it''s only OO if I write obj.method(args)" crowd more bad

ideas, please ;-)

(...as Bruno implies, setattr(), len() et al can be and should be viewed

as generic functions. A specific Python implementation may use custom

code to implement behaviour for a given object; behaviour that''s more

efficient than a full Python-level method call. For example, in

CPython, len(L) is about twice as fast as L.__len__() for built-in

sequences.)

Along with the good advice the usual suspects have given,

my intuition is that there''s an even better implementation

that doesn''t setattr() at all. While it''s impossible to

know, of course, because we don''t have the original poster''s

true requirements, I conjecture that, rather than "to link

this [user-supplied] word to a class variable", what will

serve him best is to regard the user text as an index into

a class dictionary.
