Hello,
Maybe I was a little too detailed in my previous post [same title]. I can
boil down my problem to this: say I have a class A that I encapsulate with
a class Proxy. Now I just want to override and add some functionality (see
my other post why). All functionality not defined in the Proxy class should
be delegated (I can't use inheritance, see other post). It should be
possible to achieve this using Python's great introspection possibilities,
but I can't find out how. Any help would be really appreciated!
TIA, Maarten
Example (class A and Proxy):
class A:
def __init__(self):
pass
def methodA(self):
pass
def methodB(self):
pass
def methodC(self):
pass
class Proxy:
def __init__(self):
self.a = A()
# maybe scan the methods in A and not in this class?????
# setup a hook for undefined methods?
def methodA(self):
# what I DON'T want:
return self.a.methodA( )
# and this for every method...
# maybe something like this?
def process_unknown method(self, method, args):
return self.a.method(a rgs)
P = Proxy()
P.methodA()
P.methodC()
output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "group.py", line 36, in ?
P.methodC()

This might help (almost untested):
class Proxy(object):
def __init__(self, obj):
self.obj_ = obj
def __getattr__(sel f, name):
return getattr(self.ob j_, name)
class Foo(object):
def methodA(self):
return 'Foo.methodA'
def methodB(self):
return 'Foo.methodB'
foo = Foo()
p = Proxy(foo)
print p.methodA()
print p.methodB()

anton.

Why don't you just scan the underlying object for all methods it has (using
the objects __dict__, filtering with type method) and add these methods on
your proxy when there exists no method of the same name (using the proyies
dict)? That would eliminate the need of a general-purpose method call
interception and do what you want.
I'm a little bit too lazy right now create a working example, but I think
you should be able to come up with your own in no time - if not, ask again
(and someone more enlightened might answer, or I get down on my a** and
write something... :))

The __getattr__() method could be helpful for your problem. It's calld for
every missing attribute - not just methods. If you want to set attributes,
there's a corresponding __setattr__() method which is called for *every*
attribute.
Adopting your example:
class A:
def methodA(self):
print "original A"
def methodB(self):
print "original B"
class Proxy:
def __init__(self, wrapped):
self._wrapped = wrapped
def methodA(self):
print "replacemen t A, internally calling",
return self._wrapped.m ethodA()
def __getattr__(sel f, name):
return getattr(self._w rapped, name)
a = A()
p = Proxy(a)
p.methodA()
p.methodB()

That does the trick!
Thanks guys,
Maarten

Hi,
I need to traverse the methods defined in a class and its superclasses. This
is the code I'm using:
# An instance of class B should be able to check all the methods defined in B
#and A, while an instance of class C should be able to check all methods
#defined in C, B and A.

Hi all
I noticed something strange here while explaining decorators to someone.
Not any real use code, but I think it's worth mentioning.
When I access a class attribute, on a class with a custom metaclass with
a __getattribute__ method, the method is used when acessing some
attribute directly with the class object, but not when you do it from
the instance.

Is it considered good practice to call a mutator when inside the same
class or modify the attribute directly?
So if there's a public method SetName() would it be better from
say ::Init() to call SetName("none") or just set name="none"?
