Same GET-Property for multiple Attributes

I recently heared about properties, and that you can assign functions to the getter or setter of a attribute within a class. So you can do value Checks or different things.



I want to ask if it's possible to assign the same function to the getter of multiple attributes. To do that the function needs a dynamic return, so that the value X is returned if X was called, and Y if Y was called.



I could do a own getter for every Attribute, but in my case are 20+ Attributes which need to call that Function, so it would be nicer to have the dynamic call.



Testing with __getattributes__ was a total disaster, because I always got it looped endlessly, so either is wasn't possible that way or I just made mistakes.



Is that possible? Something like that:



class example():
def __init__(self):
self.__x = 1
self.__y = 2

def do_something(self):
#Do something which is needed by multiple attributes
#without changes
attribute_name = '__' + attribute_name
return self.__dict__[attribute_name]

x = property(fget=do_something)
y = property(fget=do_something)
...


EDIT 1:

  • Sure, you can implement the descriptor protocol and just provide the backing attribute name, e.g. x = magic_property('__x'). Note that leading double underscores probably isn't what you want, though: stackoverflow.com/q/7456807/3001761.

  • @jonrsharpe Thanks for the quick response, I kinda at a loss here. I don't quite understand whats going on at your post. I tried playing around with __getattribute__(self, name) but it failed because I can't use functions in there. And if I want to work with properties I need to transfer the name of the calling attribute to the new getter. Here is my Code, maybe it will help. [Class TBDB.py Row 180] REPL.IT
