PyProtectionLevel

Install

Install PyProtectionLevel using pip with pip install protectionlevel. The package module is named protectionlevel, so you can import all decorators with from protectionlevel import *.

Docs & Usage

Access modifier support for Python. Includes the following access modifiers as decorators:

• @protectiondefault - uses the default protection for the item (private); if used on a class, then all attributes will be private (unless specified otherwise by an attribute decorator)
• @public - exposes the attribute of the class even if the class is decorated with @protectiondefault
• @private - makes attribute private (only the class can access the attribute)
• @protected - only the class and subclasses can access the attribute
• @readonly - the attribute cannot be set
• @exposeset(access_modifier) - Can pass either protectionlevel.private or protectionlevel.protected as the argument to this decorator. Allows code that falls under the protection level passed as access_modifier to get and set the attribute, all other code can only get the attribute.
