Why not? If you prefer, think of it something like:
class ItemPtr:
def __init__(self, obj, key):
self.obj = obj
self.key = key
def ___setvalue___(self, value):
self.obj[self.key] = value
def ___getvalue___(self)
return self.obj[self.key]
@(foo[bar]) returns ItemPtr(foo, bar)
@baz where bar is a global variable returns ItemPtr(globals(), 'baz')
@quux where quux is local returns a cell object (any local that is used
in such an expression becomes a cell variable as with any local that is
used in a closure), and the cell type shall have these methods added to
it.
@(foo.bar) returns AttrPtr(foo, 'bar') where AttrPtr is a similarly
defined type.
We could even support a kind of "pointer arithmetic" for ItemPtr to
list-like containers:
def __add__(self, offset):
return ItemPtr(self.obj, self.key + offset)
def __getitem__(self, offset):
return self.obj[self.key + offset]
