after spending hours in googling, I learned a lot, but did not find any close topic to the following:
I am currently programming on dynamically created classes via a factory method. The reason is, that the method names should be populated according to a separate yaml-file. It comes down to this problem:
def create_class_with_dynamic_fuction_name(fun_name):
def fun(self):
print "Hello, I am fun"
class X:
pass
setattr(X, fun_name, fun)
return X
Kls1= create_class_with_dynamic_fuction_name('my_function_name')
kls1= Kls1()
kls1.my_function_name()
This code works. However, if you have this code in the editor of sypder (aka. Spider IDE, spyderlib), the autocomplete will not show my_function_name in its context box. Neither is it possible to inspect it via Ctrl+I for easy retrieval of the docstring-help.
The same problem arises, if a class is created with type(classname, (), clsdict). In that case, one only finds mro inside the autocomplete-context-menu.
Also I found, that it is not a problem of the closure pattern above. You can do
def create_class_with_static_function_name():
def fun(self):
print "Hello, I am fun"
class X:
my_function_name = fun
return X
Kls2= create_class_with_static_function_name()
kls2= Kls2()
kls2.my_function_name()
In such case, the my_function_name shows correctly up, but it is not what I aimed for.
Would be glad to here any suggestions to accomplish dynamic creation of classes with dynamic method names, which are correctly handled in spyder's autocompletion within the editor window.
