pwtools.batch.Case

class pwtools.batch.Case(**kwds)

Bases: object

General purpose container class, supporting only keywords in the constructor. This is essentially the same as a dictionary, just with another syntax for attribute access, i.e. case.foo instead of case['foo'].

Sometimes you want to do more than storing values. Then, you need to subclass Case and do stuff in __init__. But don’t call Case.__init__ as in

class MyCase(Case):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
        super(Case, self).__init__(*args, **kwds)
            self.z = self.x + self.y

Instead, define a method called init, which is automatically called if it exists.

class MyCase(Case):
    def init(self):
        self.z = self.x + self.y

Examples

>>> from pwtools.batch import Case
>>> case1 = Case(x=1, y=2)
>>> case2 = Case(x=11, y=22)
>>> for case in [case1, case2]: print(case.x, case.y)

__init__(**kwds)
