Re: Application-global switches?
On Sep 4, 9:29 pm, kj no.em...@please.post wrote: I'm looking for the best-practice way to define application-global read-only switches, settable from the command line. The best example I can think of of such global switch is the built-in variable __debug__. This variable is visible everywhere in a program, and broadly affects its operation. The situation that prompts this question is the task of implementing a certain application that is supposed to run for several days (typically 2-3 weeks). It is important to be able to re-start this application where it left off in case that, for some reason (e.g. internet connection failure), it terminates prematurely. When this application is restarted its behavior is somewhat different from when it is started from scratch. (For example, when it is re-started, it does not clear certain directories.) Hence, I'd like to be able to have a variable, e.g. CONTINUATION_MODE, visible everywhere in the code, that tells the application to behave in continuation mode, so that I can write stuff like if not CONTINUATION_MODE: clean_the_slate() The only solution I can come up with is to define a dummy module, say _config.py, which contains only upper-case variables representing these global switches, and is imported by all the other modules in the application with the line from _config import *. During the early stages of the run, the script inspects the command-line flags, and if it finds a --continuing flag, it sets the variable _config.CONTINUATION_MODE to True. (The last point implies that these variables are not strictly speaking read-only, since they most be set at the beginning of the run. But after this initial setting, they should remain read-only.) I'm sure this would work OK, but I wonder if there is a more Pythonic way to do this sort of thing. Is there a best practice for setting such application-global switches?

Re: adding methods at runtime and lambda
On May 3, 10:52 pm, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I was messing around with adding methods to a class instance at
runtime and saw the usual code one finds online for this. All the
examples I saw say, of course, to make sure that for your method that
you have 'self' as the first parameter. I got to thinking and thought
I have a lot of arbitrary methods in several utility files that I
might like to add to things. How would I do that? And this is what I
came up with:
def AddMethod(currObject, method, name = None):
if name is None: name = method.func_name
class newclass(currObject.__class__):pass
setattr(newclass, name, method)
return newclass()
And lets say I have a utility function that can check if a drive
exists on my windows box called HasDrive. I can add that like this:
superdict = addm(dict(), lambda self, d: myUtils.HasDrive(d),
hasdrive)
and then I can call
superdict.HasDrive('c')
lambda makes it possible to add any random function because you can
use it to set self as the first parameter. I've found several real
uses for this already. My big question is, will something like this be
possible in python 3000 if lambda really does go away? I've not heard
much about lambda, reduce, etc. lately but I know Guido wanted them
out of the language.
Is there a better way to do this today than to use lambda? It seemed
the simplest way to do this that I could find.
