What is the simplest way to instantiate all classes that are
subclasses of a given class in a module?
More precisely I have a module m with some content:
# m.py
class A:
pass
class x( A ):
pass
class y( A ):
pass
# all kinds of other objects follow
# end of m.py
and then in another module I have currently:
# n.py
import m
x = m.x( )
y = m.y( )
# end of n.py
and would like to automate this in a way that results in having
instances of classes from m in n whose names are the same as the
classes themselves. But I only would like to do this with classes that
are subclasses of A.
Any ideas? 7 2071

Just go through the objects in the module, test if they are classes,
subclasses of `A` and not `A` itself:
from inspect import isclass
import test
instances = dict()
for name in dir(test):
obj = getattr(test, name)
if isclass(obj) and issubclass(obj, test.A) and obj is not test.A:
instances[name] = obj()

It's pretty easy
import m
from inspect import getmembers, isclass, getmro
t = '%s = m.%s()'
for name, class_ in getmembers(m, isclass):
if class_ is m.A:
continue
if m.A in getmro(class_):
exec t % (name, name)
Peace,

Thanks, this looks pretty good. However there is some wierdness with
isclass: whenever a class has a __getattr__ method an instance of it
will be detected by isclass as a class (although it is not).
>>from inspect import isclass
class x:
.... def __getattr__( self, attr ):
.... pass
....
>>y = x( ) isclass( y )
True
>>>
If there is no __getattr__ method isclass works as expected. Am I
misunderstandin g something here or isclass should return False for any
instance of any class including those with a __getattr__ method?

True
Which reinforces Michael Spencer's instinct that the inspect.isclass ()
implementation is a bit too clever (see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pyt...y/351448.html).

It certainly should, and I believe that the obvious test
isinstance(obj, (types.ClassTyp e, type))
will work.

Wouldn't the word 'broken' be more appropriate? :)

It's pretty easy
import m

t = '%s = m.%s()'
for name, class_ in getmembers(m, isclass):
if class_ is m.A:
continue
if m.A in getmro(class_):
exec t % (name, name)
Actually, this variant also suffers from the broken isclass implementation.

Not a problem, I haven't used inspect much so I've not been bitten by
this bug before. It's good to know!
(I would have assumed that isclass() would have been implemented as
isinstance(obj, (types.ClassTyp e, type)) anyway. I'm surprised it's
not, and that it's so broken..)
