Greetings SO,
I have a weird problem that I don't seem to be able to solve:
I am working with the pydev plugin with eclipse Helios on Windows XP (if it matters).
I have a module which contains a class. The __init__
of this class takes a parameter which determines the set of attributes that a method of this class should have.
Since I am not allowed to show actual code, I can give the following analogy:
class Car:
def __init__(self, attrs):
# attrs is a dictionary.
# the keys of attrs are the names of attributes that this car should have
# for example, a key of attr could be 'tires'
# the values of attrs are the values of the attributes which are the keys
# so if the key is 'tires', it's value might be 4
Now, since I'm setting these variables dynamically at runtime, Pydev is not able to give me suggestions when I do this:
c = Car()
print c.tires
When I type in "c." +, pydev does not offer tires as a suggestion.
How might I go about getting this functionality? Or is it just not something that pydev can do at present?
I'd appreciate any help
+1 to Imran for his solution. But, Ia better solution occurred to me:
Create all attributes in `__init__`.
When it comes time to be dynamic, delete the unwanted attributes.
This way, ene though the superset of all attributes is still suggested in the autocomplete, memory is not wasted.
