I'm debugging some Python that takes, as input, a list of objects, each with some attributes.
I'd like to hard-code some test values -- let's say, a list of four objects whose "foo" attribute is set to some number.
Is there a more concise way than this?
x1.foo = 1
x2.foo = 2
x3.foo = 3
x4.foo = 4
myfunc([x1, x2, x3, x4])
Ideally, I'd just like to be able to say something like:
myfunc([<foo=1>, <foo=2>, <foo=3>, <foo=4>])
(Obviously, that is made-up syntax. But is there something similar that really works?)
Note: This will never be checked in. It's just some throwaway debug code. So don't worry about readability or maintainability.
I like Tetha's solution, but it's unnecessarily complex.
Here's something simpler:
>>> class MicroMock(object):
... def __init__(self, **kwargs):
... self.__dict__.update(kwargs)
...
>>> def print_foo(x):
... print x.foo
...
>>> print_foo(MicroMock(foo=3))
