Way to many (possible and/or optional) parameters for a class? Here is a 5 second tip for all those old style Java-type-programmers…
Use kwargs, simple setter methods and run through the keys.
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
class myClass():
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
for key in kwargs:
f = getattr(self, 'set_' + key)
f(kwargs[key])
def set_id(self, id=None):
print(id)
def set_value2(self,value):
print(value)
c=myClass(id="myID", value2=2)
PS: Of course you might wanna wrap that with some exception handling in case some key is wrong.
