how to create class variable dynamically in python

Question

I need to make a bunch of class variables and I would like to do it by looping through a list like that:

vars=(\'tx\',\'ty\',\'tz\') #plus plenty more

class Foo         


        

Answer 1

You can run the insertion code immediately after a class is created:

class Foo():
     ...

vars=('tx', 'ty', 'tz')  # plus plenty more
for v in vars:
    setattr(Foo, v, 0)

Also, you can dynamically store the variable while the class is being created:

class Bar:
    locals()['tx'] = 'texas'
