Keeping track of subclasses and instances?

Hi,

what's the best way to keep track of user-made subclasses, and instances of
those subclasses? I just need a pointer in a right direction... thanks.

Anyway, here's something to get you
started; all a user has to do is derive (directly or indirectly) from
InstanceTracker and, if a class C defines __init__,
super(C,self)._ _init__() should be called explicitly:
Actually, you don't even need that restriction - just move the tracking
code from __init__ to __new__.
>
from collections import deque
from weakref import WeakKeyDictiona ry

class InstanceTracker (object):
def __new__(cls, *args, **kw):
try:
all = cls.__dict__['__instances__']
except KeyError:
cls.__instances __ = all = WeakKeyDictiona ry()
self = super(InstanceT racker, self).__new__(c ls)
all[self] = None
return self

(NB : untested)

I'm building a class hierarchy that needs to keep as a class variable a reference to a (non-member) function, so that different subclasses can use different generator functions. But it seems Python is treating the function as a member function because the reference to it is in class scope.... Here's a simple case of what I'm trying (in the real code, fn is a function that returns a database connection relevant to that subclass): >...

Just looking for suggestion on how to do this in my Web application. The goal is to keep track of what a user has and hasn't read and present him or her with new material I am currently doing this by aggregating new content from all databases into a single indexed database and then saving a timestamp in the account database (for the current user) that tells me when the user last read items in the aggregated database.

I'm actually taking Microsoft's 2779 and just finished a lab where we kept track of our changes to the database.
