Is there a way to have a metaclass similar to our ClasscallMetaclass at
all, in Python3?? I just tested, having
class Classcall(type):
def __call__(cls, *args, **opts):
try:
classcall = cls.__classcall__
except AttributeError:
return type.__call__(cls, *args, **opts)
return classcall(cls, *args, **opts)
class MyUniqueRepresentation:
__metaclass__ = Classcall
@staticmethod
def __classcall__(cls, *args, **opts):
out = super(cls,cls).__new__(cls, *args, **opts)
print("classcall got",type(out), cls)
cls.__init__(out,*args,**opts)
out._reduction = (type(out), args, opts)
return out
Loading the above into python2, I get
>>> class Foo(MyUniqueRepresentation):
... def __init__(self, a,b):
... self.a = a
... self.b = b
...
>>> A = Foo("A","B")
('classcall got', <class '__main__.Foo'>, <class '__main__.Foo'>)
>>> A._reduction
(<class '__main__.Foo'>, ('A', 'B'), {})
But doing the same in python3, it gives
>>> class Foo(MyUniqueRepresentation):
... def __init__(self, a,b):
... self.a = a
... self.b = b
...
>>> A = Foo("A","B")
>>> A._reduction
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'Foo' object has no attribute '_reduction'
So, in python2, the __classcall__ is called, in python3 it isn't. What
needs to be done to make the above example work in python3?
It makes me wonder: IIRC there are people trying to build SageMath with
python3 (that's why I put sage-devel on Cc). Does UniqueRepresentation
actually work with python3, when the metaclass apparently is not called
during creation of a class?
Best regards,
Simon
