__getattr__ for static/class variables in python

Question

I have a class like:

class MyClass:
     Foo = 1
     Bar = 2

Whenever MyClass.Foo or MyClass.Bar is invoked, I n

Answer 1

Depending on the case I use this pattern

class _TheRealClass:
    def __getattr__(self, attr):
       pass

LooksLikeAClass = _TheRealClass()

Then you import and use it.

from foo import LooksLikeAClass
LooksLikeAClass.some_attribute

This avoid use of metaclass, and handle some use cases.
