temporary

class zfit.util.temporary.TemporarilySet(value: Any, setter: Callable, getter: Callable, setter_args=None, setter_kwargs=None, getter_args=None, getter_kwargs=None)

Bases: object

Temporarily set value with setter and reset to the old value after leaving the context.

This class can be used to have a setter that can permanently set a value as well as just for the time inside a context manager. The usage is as follows:

>>> class SimpleX:
>>>     def __init__(self):
>>>          self.x = None
>>>     def _set_x(self, x):
>>>         self.x = x
>>>     def get_x(self):
>>>         return self.x
>>>     def set_x(self, x):
>>>         return TemporarilySet(value=x, setter=self._set_x, getter=self.get_x)

>>> simple_x = SimpleX()
Now we can either set x permanently
>>> simple_x.set_x(42)
>>> print(simple.x)
42

or temporarily >>> with simple_x.set_x(13) as value: >>> print(“Value from contextmanager:”, value) >>> print(“simple_x.get_x():”, simple_x.get_x()) 13 13

and is afterwards unset again >>> print(simple.x) 42

Parameters:

• value (Any) – The value to be (temporarily) set (and returned if a context manager is applied).
• setter (Callable) – The setter function with a signature that is compatible to the call: setter(value, *setter_args, **setter_kwargs)
• getter (Callable) – The getter function with a signature that is compatible to the call: getter(*getter_args, **getter_kwargs)
• setter_args (List) – A list of arguments given to the setter
• setter_kwargs (Dict) – A dict of keyword-arguments given to the setter
• getter_args (List) – A list of arguments given to the getter
• getter_kwargs (Dict) – A dict of keyword-arguments given to the getter
