overload operator

[hbadi]

Hi,

Maybe my question is not relative to pybind11 but much more about python

I have the following c++ code in which i can write a | 0 = "x";
I tried to wrap the classes A and B using pybind11. I overloaded the __or__ method of B, it works, but overloading __set__ of A doesn't works. Is there any chance to write a|0="x" in python ? I have the following error SyntaxError: cannot assign to operator

Thanks a lot.

#include <iostream>
#include <array>
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
#include <pybind11/operators.h>
#include <pybind11/stl.h>

using namespace std;
namespace py = pybind11;

class B
{
    public:
        B() {};
        B(std::string name) : _name(name) {};
        std::string getName() const {return _name;};
        void operator=(std::string name){ _name=name;};
    private:
        std::string _name = "none";
};

class A
{
    public:
        A() {}
        B& operator|(int i) { return _arrayb[i];};
    private:
        std::array<B, 3> _arrayb;
};

PYBIND11_MODULE(hamid, m) {
    m.doc() = "test";
    
    py::class_<B>(m, "B")
        .def(py::init<>())
        .def(py::init<std::string>())
        .def("getName", &B::getName)
        .def("__set__", static_cast<void (B::*)(std::string)>(&B::operator=))
        .def("__str__", [](const B& b){ return b.getName();})
    ;
    py::class_<A>(m, "A")
        .def(py::init<>())
        .def("__or__", static_cast<B& (A::*)(int)>(&A::operator|))
        .def("__str__", [](A& a){ return (a|0).getName() + " - " + (a|1).getName() + " - " + (a|2).getName();})
    ;
}
