Hi all. Im in this situation: I want to perform several kind of
(validating) methods to a given value.
Lets say i have a class named Number, and the following methods:
is_really_a_num ber(),
is_even(),
is_greater_than _zero(),
and so on. All of them returning booleans.
I want the collect_validat ors() method is to execute any of the above
methods, and collect their names as items of a list (wich will be the
collect_validat ors() return value).
My first approach is: -
def collect_validators(self):
-
v_dict = { 'is_really_a_number': is_really_a_number,
-
'is_even': is_even,
-
'is_greater_than_zero', is_greater_than_zero
-
}
-
-
for name, meth in v_dict.items():
-
result = meth()
-
if result: yield name
-
I wondering if is this a good pattern to apply, i like the way it looks
like, at least to me it looks `natural', but...im calling every method
twice here? One in v_dict and again on the dict iteration?
Any suggestion will be great!
Thanks!

You are not calling every method twice. You are painstakingly typing out
their names twice. But fortunately, functions and methods have a
__name__ attribute which makes a this typing redundant. I would give
your class instances a _validators attribute which is a list of
validating methods, then make the generator like this:
def collect_validat ors(self):
for v in self._validator s:
if v():
yield v.__name__

(inside class definition -- untested)
validators = {"is a number": is_really_a_num ber,
"is even": is_even,
"is greater than zero": is_greater_than _zero}
def collect_validat ors(self):
return [desc for desc, func in self.validators .items() if func()]
My first approach is:
.... no method, but a generator. Executing it will give you a
generator object instead of a result list. -
def collect_validators(self):
-
v_dict = { 'is_really_a_number': is_really_a_number,
-
'is_even': is_even,
-
'is_greater_than_zero', is_greater_than_zero

IMHO, it doesn't look natural. It depends on what you want to
achieve. This generator will need to be iterated over until it
is "exhausted" .
but...im calling every method twice here?
No. Methods are only called if you apply the function call
operator, "()".
BTW, I hope you don't really want to test a number to be greater
than zero, or even, by using an own method, respectively, just to
test this.

Björn

Im having some fun doing a mail filter. A master thread will fire several
threads (each one returning a list with the matched validators) and
collect the results of each one of them.

Haha, no, the actual methods do other kind of things.

Are these validators actually methods rather than functions? If so,
you should write something like this:
def collect_validat ors(self):
methods = ['is_really_a_nu mber', 'is_even',
'is_greater_tha n_zero']
return (m for m in methods if getattr(self, m)())

I was wondering if maybe allowing "fields" for methods. The reason is to
encapsulate the data that is mainly used by the method and to prevent the
need of having to create new variables every time the function is called if
you know they need not change within the method.
In a sense these would be equivilent to passing arguments to the method or
equivilent to local variables... but these arguments or variables always
have the same...

Seems to me that one should be able to put the names of several
functions in a list and then have the list executed. But it seems the
output of the functions is hidden, only their return value is visible.
Is this because the list execution is another scope?
