Python client should have dictionary-like syntactic sugar --------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-1045 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1045 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Hot Rod Client - Python Affects Versions: 4.2.1.FINAL Reporter: Manik Surtani Assignee: Galder Zamarreño Fix For: 4.2.2.BETA1 The Python Cache class uses Java Map-style put(), get(), remove() and contains(). Which is fine, but we should also offer Python-style syntactic sugar, so that we can do: {code} cache['key'] = 'value' print cache['key'] if 'key' in cache: print 'Key exists!' for e in cache: print e {code} etc. Have a look at the implementation of a Python map for more details, or one of the many custom map-like classes available for Python. This is usually implemented by defining internal methods, such as: {code} def __getitem__(self, key): return self.get(key) def __setitem__(self, key, value): self.put(key, value) {code} etc.
