Hi,
I need to enumerate a couple hundred strings to constants and export
them to another module(s) globals.
In the mean time I want to keep my module's namespace as clear as I can
and I don't want to use "import *" later.
Here is the code I intend to use:
test.py
1 class Apinamespace():
2 @staticmethod
3 def import_to(destination):
4
5 for name, number in Apinamespace.__dict__.items():
6 if (name.startswith('__') and name.endswith('__')) or
name == "import_to": # :)
7 pass
8 else:
9 setattr(destination, name, number)
10
11 class Enumerate():
12 def __init__(self, names, start = 0, step = 1):
13 enumerate_to = Apinamespace
14
15 for number, name in self.enumerate(names, start, step):
16 setattr(enumerate_to, name, number)
17
18 def enumerate(self, names, start = 0, step = 1):
19 for index in range(len(names)):
20 yield (start, names[index])
21 start += step
22
23 example_names = ['Foo','Bar','Free', 'Beer']
24 example_names2 = ['Foo_me_too', 'Bar_me_too', 'Free_me_too',
'Beer_me_too']
25 Enumerate(example_names)
26 Enumerate(example_names2, 4, 2)
This works like a charm:
>>> import sys, test
>>> thismodule = sys.modules[__name__]
>>> test.Apinamespace.import_to(thismodule)
>>> Beer
3
>>> Beer_me_too
10
Is there a better and more common way to do this?
Do you know of a way to see the module in/from which a function was
called without using traceback and frames? (I want to remove the
argument from Apinamespace.import_me)
And can line 6 be replaced by something less evil.
Thanks for any suggestions.
