Variable

Bases: Generic[V]

Mutable wrapper for immutable objects.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
value	Any	The value to wrap.	Null
type	type | None	Desired type of the value.	None
choices	list | None	Possible values of the value.	None
validator	Callable | None	Callable that validates the value.	None
required	bool	Whether the value is required.	False
help	str | None	Help message of the value.	None

Raises:

Type	Description
RuntimeError	If required is True and value is Null.
TypeError	If type is specified and value is not an instance of type.
ValueError	| If choices is specified and value is not in choices. If validator is specified and validator returns False.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
value	Any	The wrapped value.
dtype	type	The type of the wrapped value.

Notes

Variable by default wrap the instance type to type of the wrapped object. Therefore, isinstance(Variable(1), int) will return True.

To temporarily disable this behaviour, you can call context manager with Variable.unwrapped().

To permanently disable this behaviour, you can call Variable.unwrap().

Examples:

Python Console Session

>>> v = Variable(1)
>>> n = v
>>> v, n
(1, 1)
>>> v += 1
>>> v, n
(2, 2)
>>> v.value = 3
>>> v, n
(3, 3)
>>> n.set(4)
>>> v, n
(4, 4)
>>> n = 5
>>> v, n
(4, 5)
>>> f'{v} < {n}'
'4 < 5'
>>> isinstance(v, int)
True
>>> type(v)
<class 'chanfig.variable.Variable'>
>>> v.dtype
<class 'int'>
>>> with v.unwrapped():
...    isinstance(v, int)
False
>>> v = Variable('hello')
>>> f'{v}, world!'
'hello, world!'
>>> v += ', world!'
>>> v
'hello, world!'
>>> "hello" in v
True
