When I do the following:
def Welcome(email, temporaryPassword):
model = object()
model.TemporaryPassword = temporaryPassword
model.Email = email
I get an error:
AttributeError: 'object' object has no attribute 'TemporaryPassword'
How do I dynamically create an object like I am doing?
use lambda object : ( http://codepad.org/ITFhNrGi )
def Welcome(email, temporaryPassword):
model = type('lamdbaobject', (object,), {})()
model.TemporaryPassword = temporaryPassword
model.Email = email
return model
t = Welcome('[email protected]','1234')
print(str(t.TemporaryPassword))
you can define a dummy class first:
class MyObject(object):
pass
obj = MyObject()
obj.TemporaryPassword = temporaryPassword
If you only use the object as a data structure (i.e. no methods) you can use a namedtuple from the collections package:
from collections import namedtuple
def welcome(email, tmp_passwd):
model = namedtuple('MyModel', ['email', 'temporary_password'])(email, tmp_passwd)
...
By the way, if your welcome function only creates the object and returns it, there is no need for it. Just:
from collections import namedtuple
Welcome = namedtuple('Welcome', ['email', 'temporary_password'])
ex = Welcome('[email protected]', 'foobar')
print ex.email
print ex.temporary_password
