I searched for Value object implementation in Python, and found keleshev's implementation in github. But it doesn't provide the feature of immutability of Value object. So, I implemented property based immutable Value object class by myself.
Any feedbacks are welcome.
ValueObject class
class ValueObject(object):
""" base class for Value Objects
please call _set_properties in constructor.
"""
def __new__(class_, *args, **kwargs):
self = object.__new__(class_, *args, **kwargs)
self.__initialized = False
self.__params = dict()
return self
def _set_properties(self, mapping):
if self.__initialized:
raise AttributeError('callable only by constructor')
self.__initialized = True
self.__params = dict(mapping)
self.__labels = [k for k, v in mapping]
def setprop(key):
setattr(self.__class__, key, property(lambda x: x.__params[key]))
for k, v in mapping:
if not hasattr(self.__class__, k):
setprop(k)
def get_values(self):
return self.__params
def __repr__(self):
return unicode(self).encode('utf-8')
def __unicode__(self):
return u'%s(%s)' % (
self.__class__.__name__,
u', '.join(unicode(self.__params[k]) for k in self.__labels))
def __hash__(self):
return hash(repr(self))
def __eq__(self, other):
if not isinstance(other, self.__class__):
return False
return repr(self) == repr(other)
def __ne__(self, other):
if not isinstance(other, self.__class__):
return True
return repr(self) != repr(other)
