protecc\nAccess modifiers for python.\n\n\n## Setup\n\n#### PIP install\n\n```bash\npip install protecc\n```\n\n#### From the source\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/avinashshenoy97/protecc\ncd protecc\npython setup.py install\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Old-Style Classes\nInherit from/extend the `protecc` class.\n\n```python\nfrom protecc import protecc\n\nclass regulatedClass(protecc):\n    def __init__(self):\n        self.publicVariable = 'public value'\n        self._privateVariable = 'private value'\n\n    def publicMethod(self):\n        return True\n\n    def __privateMethod(self):\n        return True\n\n    def getPrivateVariable(self):\n        return self._privateVariable\n\n    def privateMethodProxy(self):\n        return self.__privateMethod()\n```\n\n### New-Style Classes (type)\n \nIf you prefer metaclass (for better readability/what not), use `metaProtecc`.\n\n```python\nclass metaRegulatedClass(metaclass=metaProtecc):\n    def __init__(self):\n        self.publicVariable = 'public value'\n        self._privateVariable = 'private value'\n\n    def publicMethod(self):\n        return True\n\n    def __privateMethod(self):\n        return True\n\n    def getPrivateVariable(self):\n        return self._privateVariable\n\n    def privateMethodProxy(self):\n        return self.__privateMethod()\n```\n\nWhen accessing \"private\" methods (i.e, methods that begin with either a single or two underscores), this exception is raised\n\n```python\n\u003e\u003e\u003e r = regulatedClass()\n\u003e\u003e\u003e r.__privateMethod()\nTraceback (most recent call last):\n  File \"\u003cstdin\u003e\", line 1, in \u003cmodule\u003e\n  File \"/Users/avinashshenoy/STUFF/projects/protecc/protecc.py\", line 23, in __protecced_getattribute__\n    raise AccessException('Cannot access ' + varType + ' member ' + name) from None\nprotecc.AccessException: Cannot access private member __privateMethod\n```\n\nPrivate methods can still be accessed from within other class methods, as is expected:\n\n```python\n\u003e\u003e\u003e r = regulatedClass()\n\u003e\u003e\u003e r.privateMethodProxy()\nTrue\n```\n\n### Note\n\n- This is, by no means, fool-proof access protection.\n- \"Private members\" are those members whose names are mangled by Python, as per PEP 8 conventions, i.e, starting with 2 underscores and having not more than one trailing underscore.\n- Additionally, \"protected members\" are those members whose names are preceded by a single underscores. These members cannot be accessed from outside the class as well, as is expected.\n\n## Primary Contributors\n\n| | |\n|:-:|:-:|\n|\u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/avinashshenoy97.png\" width=\"48\"\u003e  | [Avinash Shenoy](https://github.com/avinashshenoy97) |\n\n#### License\n\nThis project is released under the [MIT License](https://github.com/avinashshenoy97/protecc/blob/master/LICENSE).","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Favinashshenoy97%2Fprotecc","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Favinashshenoy97%2Fprotecc","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Favinashshenoy97%2Fprotecc/lists"}
