apply 2.0

An apply function for Python 2 and 3

Package Contents

apply(object, args=None, kwargs=None)

Call object with args and kwargs; return its results.

Overview

Python 3 has no apply. We like apply. If you like apply as well, have no fear. This version of apply works across all versions of Python.

Examples

apply allows to create read/write properties in a very compact way:

from apply import apply

class X509:

    def __init__(self, store):
        self.store = store

    @apply
    def CN():
        doc = 'The common name attribute'
        def get(self):
            return self.store.get('CN')
        def set(self, value):
            self.store.put('CN', value)
        return property(get, set, None, doc)

record = X509(LDAP())
record.CN = 'Slate Rock and Gravel Company'
