Consider this following code:
class Class:
def __init__(self):
self._value = False
def GetValue(self):
return self._value
def SetValue(self, val):
self._value = val
Value = property(GetValue, SetValue)
c = Class()
print c._value, c.Value
False False
c.Value = True
print c._value, c.Value
False True
Why isn't the property calling my function ? (I am running Python 2.6.5 on windows)
You need to use a new style class (inherit from object) for property to work
class Class(object):
...
property is one.If you only want to access your value as a property, it's much simpler to just use an attribute:
class Class(object):
def __init__(self):
self.value = False
c = Class()
c.value # False
c.value = True
c.value # True
This isn't Java, you can simply access attributes the easy way. If in the future you find that you need to perform more logic as part of the property access, then you can change the class to use a property.
BTW: Python style is to not use Uppercased names for functions and properties, only lowercased names.
