Functions to help work with Python classes.
- class cardinal_pythonlib.classes.ClassProperty(fget=None, fset=None, fdel=None, doc=None)[source]
One way to mark a function as a class property (logically, a combination of
@classmethodand@property).See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/128573/using-property-on-classmethods.
However, in practice we use
classproperty, a slightly different version.
- cardinal_pythonlib.classes.all_subclasses(cls: Type) List[Type][source]
Returns all subclasses of a class.
- Parameters:
cls¶ – a class
- Returns:
a list of all subclasses
- cardinal_pythonlib.classes.class_attribute_dict(cls: Type, exclude_underscore: bool = True, exclude_double_underscore: bool = True) Dict[str, Any][source]
When given a class, returns a dictionary of all its attributes, by default excluding those starting with single and double underscores.
This is just a filtered versio of cls.__dict__.
- cardinal_pythonlib.classes.class_attribute_names(cls: Type, exclude_underscore: bool = True, exclude_double_underscore: bool = True) List[str][source]
When given a class, returns the NAMES of all its attributes, by default excluding those starting with single and double underscores.
Used in particular to enumerate constants provided within a class.
- cardinal_pythonlib.classes.class_attribute_values(cls: Type, exclude_underscore: bool = True, exclude_double_underscore: bool = True) List[str][source]
When given a class, returns the VALUES of all its attributes, by default excluding those starting with single and double underscores.
Used in particular to enumerate constants provided within a class.
- class cardinal_pythonlib.classes.classproperty(fget)[source]
Decorator to mark a function as a class property (logically, a combination of
@classmethodand@property).See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/128573/using-property-on-classmethods
- cardinal_pythonlib.classes.derived_class_implements_method(derived: Type[T1], base: Type[T2], method_name: str) bool[source]
Does a derived class implement a method (and not just inherit a base class’s version)?
- Parameters:
- Returns:
whether the derived class method is (a) present, and (b) different to the base class’s version of the same method
Note: if C derives from B derives from A, then a check on C versus A will succeed if C implements the method, or if C inherits it from B but B has re-implemented it compared to A.
