I have a class that does MCMC sampling (Python 2.5) that uses decorators
-- one in particular called _add_to_post that appends the output of the
decorated method to a class attribute. However, when I
subclass this base class, the decorator no longer works:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/chris/Projects/CMR/closed.py", line 132, in <module>
class M0(MetropolisHa stings):
File "/Users/chris/Projects/CMR/closed.py", line 173, in M0
@_add_to_post
NameError: name '_add_to_post' is not defined
yet, when I look at the dict of the subclass (here called M0), I see the
decorator method:
In [5]: dir(M0)
Out[5]:
['__call__',
'__doc__',
'__init__',
'__module__',
'_add_to_post',
....
I dont see what the problem is here -- perhaps someone could shed
some light. I thought it might be the underscore preceding the name,
but I tried getting rid of it and that did not help.
Thanks. 6 3419

I think the term "class decorator" is going to eventually
mean something other than what you are doing here. I'd
avoid the term for now.
When you decorate a class method, the function you use
needs to be defined before the method definition.
Using a class method to decorate another class method is
going to be tricky. The way I usually do it is to create
a separate function outside of the class definition for
the decorator function.
You're going to have to show us the actual code you are
having trouble with, or else (probably more useful, really)
try to put together a minimal example of what you are
trying to do and show us that code.

This is true whatever you are decorating - class method, static method,
instance method, function. And FWIW, the term "class method" has a
definite meaning in Python.
Using a class method to decorate another class method is
going to be tricky. The way I usually do it is to create
a separate function outside of the class definition for
the decorator function.
The problem is then that this function cannot easily access the class
object - which is what the OP want.

A minimal runnable code snippet reproducing the problem would *really*
help, you know...
Anyway: the body of a class statement is it's own namespace. So in the
body of your base class, once the _add_to_post function is defined, you
can use it. But when subclassing, the subclass's class statement creates
a new namespace, in which _add_to_post is not defined - hence the
NameError. To access this symbol, you need to use a qualified name, ie:
class SubClass(BaseCl ass):
@BaseClass._add _to_post
def some_method(sel f):
# code here
Now there may be better solutions, but it's hard to tell without knowing
more about your concrete use case.

Does this simple example show your problem?
class Meta(type):
def __init__(cls, *args):
print "Meta.__ini t__ called"
return super(Meta, cls).__init__(* args)
class A(object):
__metaclass__ = Meta
def decorator(f):
print "decorator called"
return f
@decorator
def foo(self):
pass
class B(A):
#@decorator
def bar(self):
pass
print dir(A())
print dir(B())
then it explains the problem easily: the class-statement (class
Name(base): <definitions) is evaluated _before_ the actual class is
created. Thus at that moment, there is no decorator known in the
surrounding scope.
Use a function level decorator instead, that delegates it's work to a
classmethod/instancemethod. Something like this (can't be more precise
as you didn't show us code):
def decorator(f):
def _d(self, *args, **kwargs):
self._a_decorat or_method()
return f(self, *args, **kwargs)
return _d

When you decorate a class method, the function you use needs to be defined before the method definition.

Certainly. But "class decorator" is being introduced in
Python 3000 with PEP 3129: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3129/

decorators.
I put together a class to create decorators that could make them a lot

It still has a few glitches in it that needs to be addressed.
(1) The test for the 'function' object needs to not test for a string
but an object type instead.
