Description
Currently this is an advanced feature, and users need to leave the comfort of the Python properties, using instead the setter methods in order to pass both a value and the flags.
Some context, from the tests:
alt.Clear()
ls = alt.LoadShape.new('test_shape')
with pt.raises(DSSException):
ls.PMult = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
ls._set_PMult([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], SetterFlags.ImplicitSizes)
assert tuple(ls.PMult) == (1.0, 2.0, 3.0)
ls.end_edit()Some possible alternatives:
- Use a context manager in Python to keep the flags used in a block, use these flags on each Python function (when passing to the C API) and reset them later. This could be combined with the
Editcontext manager later.
with alt.with_setter_flags(SetterFlags.ImplicitSizes):
ls = alt.LoadShape.new('test_shape')
ls.PMult = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
assert tuple(ls.PMult) == (1.0, 2.0, 3.0)
ls.end_edit()- Introduce a pair of API functions to control some default flags, expose it as a property. For this, we wouldn't need to change much of the Python code, but would require consuming the default flags on the engine:
alt.DefaultSetterFlags = SetterFlags.ImplicitSizes
#...
ls = alt.LoadShape.new('test_shape')
ls.PMult = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
assert tuple(ls.PMult) == (1.0, 2.0, 3.0)
ls.end_edit()Other examples include using SetterFlags.AvoidFullRecalc to minimize Yprim and SystemY changes for loads and generators. This is valid for both individual and batch operations.
