[Modeling-users] Handling custom types for attributes

[Mario R. <ma...@ru...>]

Hello!

I would like to use custom FixedPoint values for an attribute of an  
object.
So, I do as the example in Chapter 9 of the userguide suggests... so I  
define
the "private" methods obj._setX(val) and obj._getX(). However, when the
client code calls the corresponding public setX and getX methods, the
private ones are never called! Any ideas what I may be missing out on?
I am using 0.9-pre-16 of modeling plus bug862182.patch
(no other patches I think).

Another small point: the example _get method in:
<http://modeling.sourceforge.net/UserGuide/attribute-custom-type- 
example.html>
should surely read:

      if not self._price:
        return None

as opposed to (if self._price: ... )

Cheers, mario
