Can I overwrite the string form of a namedtuple?

Question

For example:

>>> Spoken = namedtuple(\"Spoken\", [\"loudness\", \"pitch\"])
>>> s = Spoken(loudness=90, pitch=\'high\')
>>> str(s)         


        

Answer 1

You can define a function for it:

def print_loudness(self):
    return str(self.loudness)

and assign it to __str__:

Spoken.__str__ = print_loudness
