How can I create an object and add attributes to it?

Question

I want to create a dynamic object (inside another object) in Python and then add attributes to it.

I tried:

obj = someobject
obj.a = object()
setattr         


        

Answer 1

You can also use a class object directly; it creates a namespace:

class a: pass
a.somefield1 = 'somevalue1'
setattr(a, 'somefield2', 'somevalue2')

Answer 2

There are a few ways to reach this goal. Basically you need an object which is extendable.

obj.a = type('Test', (object,), {})  
obj.a.b = 'fun'  

obj.b = lambda:None

class Test:
  pass
obj.c = Test()

Answer 3

Try the code below:

$ python
>>> class Container(object):
...     pass 
...
>>> x = Container()
>>> x.a = 10
>>> x.b = 20
>>> x.banana = 100
>>> x.a, x.b, x.banana
(10, 20, 100)
>>> dir(x)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__format__', 
'__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__',
'__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__',     '__sizeof__', 
'__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'a', 'b', 'banana']

Answer 4

I think the easiest way is through the collections module.

import collections
FinanceCtaCteM = collections.namedtuple('FinanceCtaCte', 'forma_pago doc_pago get_total')
def get_total(): return 98989898
financtacteobj = FinanceCtaCteM(forma_pago='CONTADO', doc_pago='EFECTIVO',
                                get_total=get_total)

print financtacteobj.get_total()
print financtacteobj.forma_pago
print financtacteobj.doc_pago

Answer 5

If we can determine and aggregate all the attributes and values together before creating the nested object, then we could create a new class that takes a dictionary argument on creation.

# python 2.7

class NestedObject():
    def __init__(self, initial_attrs):
        for key in initial_attrs:
            setattr(self, key, initial_attrs[key])

obj = someobject
attributes = { 'attr1': 'val1', 'attr2': 'val2', 'attr3': 'val3' }
obj.a = NestedObject(attributes)
>>> obj.a.attr1
'val1'
>>> obj.a.attr2
'val2'
>>> obj.a.attr3
'val3'

We can also allow keyword arguments. See this post.

class NestedObject(object):
    def __init__(self, *initial_attrs, **kwargs):
        for dictionary in initial_attrs:
            for key in dictionary:
                setattr(self, key, dictionary[key])
        for key in kwargs:
            setattr(self, key, kwargs[key])


obj.a = NestedObject(attr1='val1', attr2='val2', attr3= 'val3')

Other way i see, this way:

import maya.cmds

def getData(objets=None, attrs=None):
    di = {}
    for obj in objets:
        name = str(obj)
        di[name]=[]
        for at in attrs:
            di[name].append(cmds.getAttr(name+'.'+at)[0])
    return di

acns=cmds.ls('L_vest_*_',type='aimConstraint')
attrs=['offset','aimVector','upVector','worldUpVector']

getData(acns,attrs)
