Use a context manager to save an object on exit












0












$begingroup$


The following code uses a context manager to store and load variables into files.
However, it's very annoying to have to set the value property of what is yielded by the context manager (loaded.value).
I would like to




  1. Not have to define a new class like LoadedValue

  2. Set the yielded value of the context manager (loaded) to be the value that is saved.


Any way of doing either of those two (as well as other helpful improvements) would be greatly appreciated.



import os
import pickle
from contextlib import contextmanager

class LoadedValue:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value

def __str__(self):
return "<LoadedValue: {}>".format(self.value)

@contextmanager
def load_manager(load_file="file.pkl"):
with open(load_file, "rb") as f:
loaded_object = LoadedValue(pickle.load(f))
try:
yield loaded_object
finally:
with open(load_file, "wb+") as f:
pickle.dump(loaded_object.value, f)

if __name__ == "__main__":
filename = "test.pkl"
with open(filename, "wb+") as f:
pickle.dump(7, f)

with load_manager(filename) as loaded:
print(loaded)
loaded.value = 5 # this is what I have to do
# loaded = 5 # this is what I want to do

with load_manager(filename) as loaded:
print(loaded) # >> 5
