python - Is it more pythonic to manipulate object I/O with @property vs override __getitem__? -

-

given dictionary of data (could come database entry), more correct way wrap dictionary's data in encapsulating class has control on data can set , returned as?

specifically, 2 ways have in mind to:

  1. override dict inherited class' __getitem__ , __setitem__ methods
  2. within standard object inherited class, add @property decorator each data entry needs controlled.

for example:

class smartcontainer(dict):      ## format/check items returned     def __getitem__(self,key):         if key == "birthday":             return "happy birthday!{bdate}".format(bdate=self.get('birthday'))         if key not in self.keys():             return 0      def __init__(self,basedict):         super(smartcontainer,self).__init__(basedict)  class smartcontainer2(object):     @property     def birthday(self):         return "happy birthday! {bdate}".format(bdate=self._birthday)     @birthday.setter     def birthday(self,value):         self._birthday = value      def __init__(self, basedict):         [self.__setattr__(k,v) k,v in basedict.iteritems()]

in purely arbitrary example, have 2 classes implement each architecture. 

smartcontainer=smartcontainer({"pi":3.14, "birthday":"01/01/2016"}) smartcontainer['birthday']  >>>'happy birthday! 01/01/2016'  smartcontainer2=smartcontainer2({"pi":3.14, "birthday":"01/01/2016"}) smartcontainer2.birthday  >>>'happy birthday! 01/01/2016'

both methods work, , seems me @property decorator more used such actions. dynamic nature of smartcontainer class' access abilities seem more straightforward me. aka smartcontainer[dynamic_key] vs smartcontainer2.__getattr__(dynamic_key).

i wondering if there reason use 1 method on other, , potential pitfalls exist?

Capture and play voice with Asterisk ARI -

-
there channel ari demo in wich can control channel state: ring, answer, play silence, play tone or audio-file ( https://github.com/asterisk/ari-examples/tree/master/channel-state , https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/ast/ari+and+channels%3a+manipulating+channel+state ) possible receive chunks (parts, buffers, etc.) of call voice (which created remote subscriber) or write chunks of voice, example array of bytes (not file) in audio format (alaw, ulow etc). you can use asterisk eagi interface voice data. other option use record or mixmonitor app record channel(channel have put stasis allow dialplan control ari) "write chunks of voice" can done application playback also can create own application using c/c++, compile asterisk , result want. no, can't redirect voice directly using ari.

i using checkstyle reportings source-code. question magicnumbercheck . i using date/(org.joda.)datetime in source code this: datetime datetime = new datetime(2013, 2, 27, 23, 0): datetime.plushours(57); is there way suppress magicnumbercheck notifications if magic number within date or datetime? you can use suppressioncommentfilter check this. configure properties values (in checkstyle configuration file) <module name="suppressioncommentfilter"> <property name="offcommentformat" value="check\:off\: ([\w\|]+)"/> <property name="oncommentformat" value="check\:on\: ([\w\|]+)"/> <property name="checkformat" value="$1"/> </module> now required lines, can like //check:off: magicnumber datetime datetime = new datetime(2013, 2, 27, 23, 0): datetime.plushours(57); //check:on: magicnumber this suppress magicnumber checks , rest checks work here. you can su...
