Exercise: Your own class to class decoratorΒΆ
This is an open exercise. The task is to find a situation where you need to change a class during its construction via a class statement, and then to write a class to class decorator that does this.
Please use the class_to_class_data and class_data_to_class decorators, either the ones supplied by the tutorial or your own (if you think they are better).
Here’s a template, to get you started.
def my_class_decorator(cls):
class_data = class_data_from_class(cls)
new_class_data = whatever_you_want_it_to_be
new_cls = class_from_class_data(new_class_data)
return new_cls
Here are some ideas
- Check that the class supplies certain methods
- Perform other checks on the class
- Change methods so all calls are logged
- Supply extra utility methods to the class
- Refactor existing code that depends on __metaclass__
