Property setter with multiple values

Question

I have a property setter which generates a unique id by taking two strings and hashing it:

@id.setter
def id(self,value1,value2):
    self._id = sha512(value         


        

Answer 1

The setter can only take one value, so use a tuple: (value1, value2).

@id.setter
def id(self,value):          
    self._id = sha512(str(value))

...

self.id = (value1, value2)

(You didn't post what sha512 is. I'm assuming you are using hashlib.sha512, and sha512 is calling the update method, which requires a string as input.)
