Hi group
I'm looking for a Python interceptor package, which will allow me to
intercept the invocation of any function or method call.
For those familiar with CORBA interceptors, this should be roughly
analogous (though simpler as we don't have a client and server side)
but should work for any native Python invocation.
A trivial but practical use of such interceptors could be to log such
invocations (also see the 'Interceptor pattern' from POSA2 by Douglas
Schmidt, et. al.)
In particular
- It should be possible to intercept
- Method calls (instance, class and static methods), either for
a specific instance or for all instances of a class (possibly
distinguishing between inherited and new or overridden methods)
- Function calls
- Calls to other callables
- It should not require any modification to existing modules
in a system
- It should be possible to install and remove such interceptors
at run-time (deriving a class and overriding a method is not
an option).
- It should be possible to install multiple interceptors (serving
different purposes) for any function/method
Has any work been done in this direction?
Thanks

You seem to look for:
import sys
sys.settrace(.. .)
(Python interpreter hook), it should do the job.

Thanks Fritz

What I'm looking for is an Interceptor class whose
constructor would interpose its (callable) instance
between a caller and a specified function or method,
and whose 'destroy' method would remove the interposition.
One would typically subclass the Interceptor class to
achieve the required interceptor behaviour.
sys.settrace looks like a possible starting point to create
such a package, allthough it is somewhat indiscriminate for my
purposes (I want to be selective about what I intercept).
Of course the selection can occur inside the trace function,
but the performance penalty may be to large (I need it in
a run-time environment, not only in a development
environment).
I have actually started to experiment with an Interceptor
class, whose constructor modifies the __dict__ of a specified
class, to 'wrap' its (callable) instance around the specified
method.
I wanted to make sure, though, that I'm not re-inventing the
wheel, and perhaps hear whether anyone would be interested in
such a package.
So, comments are invited!
Regards,
Fritz

Maybe there isn't such a package because the following is often sufficient:
def wrap(method):
def wrapped(self, *args, **kw):
print "begin"
method(self, *args, **kw)
print "end"
return wrapped
class Test(object):
def method(self, name):
print "method(%r) " % name
t = Test()
t.method("pure" )
Test.method = wrap(Test.metho d)
t.method("wrapp ed")

I've attached two source fragments which
I had used to wrap/intercept objects.
"weave" can be used to plug between an
object (like a proxy).
It temporarily modifies "self" so that even
method calls inside an object can
be trapped from the outside.
(Sorry could not find a use
case and I'm too lazy to write one
right now.)
The "trace_all" just wraps functions
inside a module.
Well, it probably won't help you much.
But who knows. Maybe you come up with an
idea :-)
Ciao,
Dominic

I proposed python as the main language for our next CAD/CAM
software because I think that it has all the potential needed
for it. I'm not sure yet if the decision will get through, but
something I'll need in this case is some experience-based set
of rules about how to use python in this context.
For example... is defining readonly attributes in classes
worth the hassle ? Does duck-typing scale well in complex

Hello c.l.py,
what features would you expect of a Python package manager, similar to
CPAN or rubygems?
I am currently planning to write such a thing, at first privately for
myself, and if it's proving useful, I think about releasing it.
I plan to model it after gentoo's portage, with less features of course.
Would this be acceptable?

In an effort to get python2.4 on my Centos 3.7, I installed the python
bootstrap rpm. This installed 2.4 alongside 2.2 and updated yum to 2.4.0.
Oddly, it didn't create a symlink 'python' for either 2.2 or 2.4. I also
get a series of troubling dependency errors when I run yum update. Below is
the output of the bootstrap install, which includes both a failure early on

From my perspective, the relative immaturity of setuptools and its
