Python namedtuples elementwise addition

Is there a more pythonic way to implement elementwise addition for named tuples?

Using this class that inherits from a namedtuple generated class named “Point I can do elementwise addition for this specific named tuple.

    class Point(namedtuple("Point", "x y")):
    def __add__(self, other):
        return Point(x = self.x + other.x, y = self.y + other.y)

If we use this functionality:

print(Point(x = 1, y = 2) + Point(x = 3, y = 1))

The result is:

Point(x=4, y=3)

Is there a more pythonic way to do this in general? Is there a generalized way to do this that can extend elementwise addition to all namedtuple generated objects?

Answer

This is a possible solution:

class Point(namedtuple("Point", "x y")):
    def __add__(self, other):
        return Point(**{field: getattr(self, field) + getattr(other, field)
                        for field in self._fields})
