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 use code like this:

from collections import namedtuple

class SpokenTuple( namedtuple("Spoken", ["loudness", "pitch"]) ):

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

s = SpokenTuple(loudness=90, pitch='high')

print(str(s))

This will wrap namedtuple in a class of your choice which you then overload the str function too.
