Lets take the following example of class decorators (origin http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1309289&seqNum=4):



class GenericDescriptor:

def __init__(self, getter, setter):
self.getter = getter
self.setter = setter

def __get__(self, instance, owner=None):
if instance is None:
return self
return self.getter(instance)

def __set__(self, instance, value):
return self.setter(instance, value)


def valid_string(attr_name, empty_allowed=True, regex=None,
acceptable=None):
def decorator(cls):
name = "__" + attr_name

def getter(self):
return getattr(self, name)

def setter(self, value):
assert isinstance(value, str), (attr_name +
" must be a string")
if not empty_allowed and not value:
raise ValueError("{0} may not be empty".format(
attr_name))
if ((acceptable is not None and value not in acceptable) or
(regex is not None and not regex.match(value))):
raise ValueError("{attr_name} cannot be set to "
"{value}".format(**locals()))
setattr(self, name, value)

setattr(cls, attr_name, GenericDescriptor(getter, setter))
return cls

return decorator


@valid_string("name", empty_allowed=False)
class StockItem:
name = None

def __init__(self, **kwargs):
if kwargs.get('second_call'):
pass
# proceed normally without calling @valid_string
self.name = kwargs.get('name', None)
self.price = kwargs.get('price', None)
self.quantity = kwargs.get('quantity', None)


if __name__ == "__main__":
import doctest

doctest.testmod()

# valid value for name
cameras1 = StockItem(name="Camera", price=45.99, quatity=2)
# invalid value for name according to @valid_string but I need this to be also valid if 'second_call'
cameras2 = StockItem(name=67, price=45.99, quatity=2, second_call=True)


The StockItem class constructor is invoked twice and on the second turn I want the @valid_string decorator to be somehow canceled (I don't want name attribute's value to be altered anymore).

  • Hell, Andreea, welcome to StackOverflow. Please provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example in the question itself. Can you also clarify what exactly is the issue you are encountering? How do you know __init__ is called twice?

  • No, you shouldn't provide the whole code, you should provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example. If we cannot reproduce the behavior you are seeing, it is hard to know how to help.

  • I've gone ahead and done the edit for you. But anyway, decorators cannot really be "canceled", they have already run by the time your class definition is finished executing (well, they are run immediately after). But you can subvert them, I suppose, but that would be easier if you can modify the decorator code somehow, or to do run-time modifications to the class (the latter option seems more brittle, but it may be easier or your only option if you can't touch the decorator code)
