I have an object and wish to set an attribute on it which,

How can I go about this?
Cheers.

Could you show the object you want to set his attribute?
Until that, it's difficult to answer to you.
PS: If the attribut is on read only, their must a good reason for
that ;)
Hi all,
Thanks for all the responses. What I'm trying to do is kludge around
something. sys.settrace takes a method whose arguments are (frame,
event, arg). I want to have a tracer class which can be instantiated
and listen in on these trace calls.
Another way to go about it *might* be to have a module-level list of
registered Tracer objects which a module-level trace method informs of
events. It would probably be easier. In fact, I'll go do that.
*That said*, I still think it makes sense to be able to have objects
register with sys.settrace.
So what I did then was declare a static method with the same pattern
expected by sys.settrace. I then want to use something like __dict__
or __setattr__ to give that method a reference to the owning object.
And this is what I'm trying to do -- declare a static method, then "un-
static it" by adding a reference to the callable object...
Here's some code:
------------------------------------------------------------
import sys
class Tracer:
'''
Instantiate this in order to access program trace information.
'''
def _getcallback(self):
@staticmethod
def callback(frame, event, arg):
print "tracing ...", tracerReference
#print "line ", frame.f_lineno, frame.f_locals
return callback
def startTrace(self):
callback = self._getcallback()
callback.__dict__['tracerReference'] = self
sys.settrace(callback)
def foo(dict):
for i in range(2):
pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
t = Tracer()
t.startTrace()
foo({1 : 5})
.
