private-attribute 1.2.6

Private attribute decorator for Python classes

Private Attribute

Introduction

This package provide a way to create the private attribute like "C++" does.

Usage

This is a simple usage about the module:

from private_attribute import PrivateAttrBase

class MyClass(PrivateAttrBase):
    __private_attrs__ = ['a', 'b', 'c']
    def __init__(self):
        self.a = 1
        self.b = 2
        self.c = 3

    def public_way(self):
        print(self.a, self.b, self.c)

obj = MyClass()
obj.public_way()  # (1, 2, 3)

print(hasattr(obj, 'a'))  # False
print(hasattr(obj, 'b'))  # False
print(hasattr(obj, 'c'))  # False

Notes

• All of the private attributes class must contain the __private_attrs__ attribute.
• The __private_attrs__ attribute must be a sequence of strings.
• You cannot define the name which in __slots__ to __private_attrs__.
• When you define __slots__ and __private_attrs__ in one class, the attributes in __private_attrs__ can also be defined in the methods, even though they are not in __slots__.
• All of the object that is the instance of the class "PrivateAttrBase" or its subclass are default to be unable to be pickled.
