A simple and dirty way to define generic methods to existing types.

Project description

Build Status

It provides a simple and dirty way to define generic methods to existing types. You can make overloaded methods using this.

Compatibility

TypeQuery does not depend on any non-standard libraries. It works on these environments:

  • Python 2.5–2.7, 3.2–3.5

  • CPython, Stackless, PyPy, Jython

Install

Install using pip:

$ pip install TypeQuery

Example: JSON encoder

from typequery import GenericMethod
from sys import version_info
from re import sub
from numbers import Real
from collections import Mapping, Iterable

if version_info.major > 2:
    basestring = string = str
else:
    string = unicode

json = GenericMethod('json')

@json.of(type(None))
def json(value):
    return 'null'

@json.of(bool)
def json(value):
    return 'true' if value else 'false'

@json.of(Real)
def json(value):
    return str(value)

@json.of(string)
def json(value):
    def escape(match):
        s = match.group(0)
        if s in ('\\', '"', '\b', '\f', '\n', '\r', '\t'):
            return '\\' + s
        n = ord(s)
        if n < 0x10000:
            return r'\u%04x' % n
        n -= 0x10000
        s1 = 0xd800 | ((n >> 10) & 0x3ff)
        s2 = 0xdc00 | (n & 0x3ff)
        return r'\u%04x\u%04x' % (s1, s2)
    return '"%s"' % sub(r'([\\"]|[^\ -~])', escape, value)

@json.of(Iterable)
def json(value):
    return '[%s]' % ', '.join(json(element) for element in value)

@json.of(Mapping)
def json(value):
    return '{%s}' % ', '.join('%s: %s' % (json(string(key)), json(value))
                              for key, value in value.items())

And defined json function works like:

>>> json(123)
'123'
>>> json(True)
'true'
>>> json({'apple': 3, 'banana': 5, 'carrot': 1})
'{"apple": 3, "banana": 5, "carrot": 1}'

As the above shows, you can define type-aware instance methods to existing types even including ABCs like collections.Iterable.

Version 0.1.4

Released on October 18, 2012.

  • Don’t use bitbucket-distutils anymore to prevent several headaches related packaging and distribution.

Version 0.1.3

Released on August 29, 2012.

  • Fixed a bug of handling multiple types by one function. [#2]

Version 0.1.2

Released on August 15, 2012.

  • You can inherit existing generic methods using GenericMethod.inherit() method.

  • Added with_receiver option for GenericMethod.of() decorator and Decorator constructor.

Version 0.1.1

Released on May 22, 2012.

  • Now it works well with abstract base classes other than abc.ABCMeta.
