User Methods
============
generateDS.py now has the ability to add user methods to the
classes it generates.
The user provides definitions (source) for the methods to be added
and (for each method) a regular expression to identify the names
of classes to which the method should be added. Then, the
--user-methods command line flag is used to instruct generateDS.py
to add the specified methods to the classes generated in the
superclass file.
A class variable (_member_data_items) providing information about
the member data items of each generated class has also been added.
There is a sample file (gends_user_methods.py in the distribution)
that provides examples of:
- walking the document object tree,
- accessing member data items using the _member_data_items class
variable,
- getting and setting the values of member data items, and
- determining the type of member data items.
You can read more about this capability in the "User Methods"
section of the documentation:
http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/generateDS.html#user-methods
You can find the latest version here:
http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/generateDS-1.10a.tar.gz
and at Source Forge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/generateds/
If you consider using this new user methods capability, also think
about the ability to generate subclasses of generated classes
using the -s command line flag and then manually adding methods to
those generated subclasses. In some situation, this might be a
better solution.
