I have a python object with several attributes and methods. I want to iterate over object attributes.
class my_python_obj(object):
attr1='a'
attr2='b'
attr3='c'
def method1(self, etc, etc):
#Statements
I want to generate a dictionary containing all of the objects attributes and their current values, but I want to do it in a dynamic way (so if later I add another attribute I don’t have to remember to update my function as well).
In php variables can be used as keys, but objects in python are unsuscriptable and if I use the dot notation for this it creates a new attribute with the name of my var, which is not my intent.
Just to make things clearer:
def to_dict(self):
'''this is what I already have'''
d={}
d["attr1"]= self.attr1
d["attr2"]= self.attr2
d["attr3"]= self.attr3
return d
·
def to_dict(self):
'''this is what I want to do'''
d={}
for v in my_python_obj.attributes:
d[v] = self.v
return d
Update:
With attributes I mean only the variables of this object, not the methods.
