A session name property for Session objects

[pelegm]

I am not entirely familiar with the object, but using the API, I found it more intuitive to call session.name than to call session.get('session_name'). If you think that's a proper way to go, I can add similar properties.

@pelegm Thank you for this.

I have no objections. If we're going to go this route, we may as well do it for Window and so on. Have you looked at adding this via TmuxMappingObject?

[pelegm]

The problem is that in a Session object the key name is session_name and in a Window object the key name is window_name I can do some magic like

@property
def name(self):
    return self.get("{}_name".format(self.__class__.__name__.lower()))

or so, but that is not so elegant.

@pelegm You're on the right track. There are patterns where you can automatically map object attributes without having to declare a @property.

You know how django and sqlachemy automatically attribute column names to attributes? You could change the way https://github.com/tony/tmuxp/blob/c5244c44d847a8eb06cab4f70db42cacb83002d7/tmuxp/util.py#L124 works to map the object properties to attributes on a Server, Session, Window or Pane object.

@pelegm The python API has been decoupled to https://github.com/tony/libtmux. I'm closing this now

If you want to continue this, let me know. A refactoring of the api is probably in store
