bookAttributes Annotations

Using annotations starting with @ symbol is a special way to define properties.

  • Write @property to define get() method;
  • Write @attribute.setter to define the set() method for the attribute.

We need to do that to explain to Python what these methods are going to be used for.

class Cat:

  def __init__(self, name = 'Kitty', age = 1):
    self.name = name
    self.__age = age
    self.__number_of_legs = 4

  @property
  def age(self):
    return self.__age

  @age.setter
  def age(self, age):
    if isinstance(age, int) and 0<=age<=30:
      self.__age = age
    else:
      print('Invalid value of attribute age')

cat = Cat('Maggie', 3)
# Adding the wrong value
cat.age = -100 
cat.age = 5
print(cat.age)
copy

Note

  • First, define getter @property and after that – setter @attribute.setter;
  • Both methods have the same name, that is equal to the attribute name;
  • Now, to access the private attribute __age outside the class, you can use the cat.age expression;
