[Baypiggies] April snippets meeting - property2

[Drew Perttula]

Here is the property() variation that works as a decorator, but seems to 
continue to work the same as old property(). The big trick is 
distinguishing property(justOneGetter) from 
property(aFunctionToCallToGetTheArgs). Based on Doug's suggestion, I am 
inspecting the incoming function's signature to guess which mode the 
user wants.


import inspect

def property2(fget=None, fset=None, fdel=None, doc=None):
     funcs = dict(fset=fset, fget=fget, fdel=fdel, doc=doc)
     if fget is not None:
         argNames = inspect.getargspec(fget)[0]
         if not argNames:
             funcs = fget()

     return property(**funcs)

class Foo(object):
     def x():
         def fset(self, v):
             self._x = v
         def fget(self):
             return self._x
         return locals()
     x = property2(**x())

     @property2
     def y():
         def fget(self):
             return "why"
         return locals()

     def z_fget(self):
         return 'zee'
     z = property2(z_fget)

f = Foo()
f.x = 5
assert f.x == 5
assert f.y == 'why'
assert f.z == 'zee'
