mutaprim 0.1.0

A collection of classes that encapsulate a primitive so it can be modified inside a function.

Mutaprim

Mutaprim is very simple package containing a single module: mutaprim. The module contain 5 "mutable primitive" types, all inheriting from a base class called MutablePrimitive:

• MutableBool
• MutableInt
• MutableFloat
• MutableStr
• MutableBytes

An instance of any MutablePrimitive subclass will have the value property, as well as equivalent get and set functions.

Here is a very simple demonstration:

from mutaprim import MutableInt

def increment(integer: MutableInt):
    integer.value += 1

# `__init__` and `__str__`
mutable_int = MutableInt(0)
print(mutable_int)  # 0

# `get` and `set`
mutable_int.set(10)
print(mutable_int.get())  # 10

# `value`
increment(mutable_int)
print(mutable_int.value)  # 11
