Simple Python `classproperty` decorator

PyPI package

This module provides a simple way for defining class properties.

Install

You can install this Python module via pip:

pip install simple-classproperty

Otherwise the module can be downloaded from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/simple-classproperty/

Usage

Import the module:

from simple_classproperty import ClasspropertyMeta, classproperty

Create a class with a class property:

class NewClass(metaclass=ClasspropertyMeta):
    _attr = "val"

    @classproperty
    def attr(cls):
        return cls._attr

Don't forget to set the metaclass!

(Optional) Define also a setter and deleter for the newly created class property (this works like the standard python property):

@attr.setter
def attr(cls, value):
    cls._attr = value

@attr.deleter
def attr(cls):
    del cls._attr

Tips

The classproperty is also accessible from an instance:

instance = NewClass()
print(instance.attr)  # "val"

When the value of the property is changed from an instance object, the class property will be changed. All other instances will have this new value:

instance1 = NewClass()
instance2 = NewClass()

instance1.attr = "new"

print(instance1.attr)  # "new"
print(instance2.attr)  # "new"
print(NewClass.attr)   # "new"

This behavior is the same when a property gets deleted from an instance.
