How to access class member array in python

Question

I have a class member. How do I access "value" of the remotesensor temperature? This is the response from pyecobee module for ECOBEE thermostat.

I tried thermostat_response.thermostatList but it gives me error "AttributeError: 'EcobeeThermostatResponse' object has no attribute 'thermostatList'"

I am able to access thermostat_response.page and thermostat_response.status but not thermostat_response.thermostatList

thermostat_response = EcobeeThermostatResponse(
  page=Page(
    page=1,
    pageSize=1,
    total=1,
    totalPages=1
  ),
  status=Status(
    code=0,
    message=
  ),
  thermostatList=[
    Thermostat(
      alerts=None,
      modelNumber=athenaSmart,
      reminders=None,
      remoteSensors=[
        RemoteSensor(
          capability=[
            RemoteSensorCapability(
              id=1,
              type=temperature,
              value=717
            ),
            RemoteSensorCapability(
              id=2,
              type=occupancy,
              value=true
            )
          ],
          code=EDGJ,
          id=rs:100,
          inUse=False,
          name=Bedroom,
          type=ecobee3_remote_sensor
        ),
        RemoteSensor(
          capability=[
            RemoteSensorCapability(
              id=1,
              type=temperature,
              value=696
            ),
            RemoteSensorCapability(
              id=2,
              type=humidity,
              value=62
            ),
            RemoteSensorCapability(
              id=3,
              type=occupancy,
              value=true
            )
          ],
          code=None,
          id=ei:0,
          inUse=True,
          name=Living Room,
          type=thermostat
        )
      ],
      runtime=None,
      weather=None
    )
  ]
)

This is the defination of EcobeeThermostatResponse class

class EcobeeThermostatResponse(EcobeeStatusResponse):
    __slots__ = ['_page', '_thermostat_list']

    attribute_name_map = {'page': 'page', 'thermostat_list': 'thermostatList',
                          'thermostatList': 'thermostat_list', 'status': 'status'}

    attribute_type_map = {'page': 'Page', 'thermostat_list': 'List[Thermostat]', 'status': 'Status'}

    def __init__(self, page, thermostat_list, status):
        """
        Construct a EcobeeThermostatResponse instance

        :param page: The page information for the response
        :param thermostat_list: The list of thermostats returned by the request
        :param status: The api response code
        """
        self._page = page
        self._thermostat_list = thermostat_list
        EcobeeStatusResponse.__init__(self, status)

    @property
    def page(self):
        """
        Gets the page attribute of this EcobeeThermostatResponse instance.

        :return: The value of the page attribute of this EcobeeThermostatResponse instance.
        :rtype: Page
        """
        return self._page

    @property
    def thermostat_list(self):
        """
        Gets the thermostat_list attribute of this EcobeeThermostatResponse instance.

        :return: The value of the thermostat_list attribute of this EcobeeThermostatResponse instance.
        :rtype: List[Thermostat]
        """
        return self._thermostat_list

I would try to go inside the EcobeeThermostatResponse class and see what its attributes are, so you know how they can be accessed. — Pieter-Jan, Aug 17 '20 at 19:33
in addition, I'm not sure if the "message=" would be a problem — user6461080, Aug 17 '20 at 19:36
thermostat_response = some function I am executing and this is the response I get back. Now I am trying to access the temperature from this variable. EcobeeThermostatResponse is a class. — Hardy Shah, Aug 17 '20 at 19:38

According to the documentation, you can use thermostat_response.thermostat_list() (as a function).

What if you did not have documentation?

In case you bump into a similar issue and do not have documentation, you can use Python's dir() to output all properties of an object, e.g. in your case:

`dir(thermostat_response)`

More info about that in this SO question.

it says vars() must have __dict__ attribute. Also `thermostat_response.thermostatList()` gives the same error AttributeError: 'EcobeeThermostatResponse' object has no attribute 'thermostatList'" – Hardy Shah Aug 17 '20 at 19:49
@HardyShah It's `thermostat_list()`, not `thermostatList()` – Anis R. Aug 17 '20 at 19:50
@HardyShah and what about using `dir(thermostat_response)`? (an alternative for `vars`) – Anis R. Aug 17 '20 at 19:51
that worked. Both thermostat_list() and dir(thermostat_response) works.Thanks a lot for your help. – Hardy Shah Aug 17 '20 at 19:54
Glad this helped! Answer edited to mention `dir` instead of `vars` – Anis R. Aug 17 '20 at 20:01
