I have written quite a long, neat Python class:
class Foo(object): | |
"""It is long and it has to deal | |
with PEP8 code width requirements| |
which are 72 characters for | |
comments and docstrings and 79 | |
for actual code. | |
""" | |
class_parm = 12 | |
pass # after several long, broken down|
# into several pieces, but in the|
# end *fit* lines of script, phew|
^
79 characters (say)
^
72 characters (say)
Now, it turns out that I need this big class to be dynamically created, so that some of its static members will be different from one instance of it to another. It a nutshell, I need to turn it into something like:
def make_foo(parm):
class Foo(object): | |
"""It is long and it has to d|al |
with PEP8 code width requirem|nts |
which are 72 characters for | |
comments and docstrings and 7| |
for actual code. | |
""" | |
class_parm = parm | |
pass # after several long, broken |own
# into several pieces, but in|the
# end *fit* lines of script, |hew
return Foo |
^
79 characters (say)
^
72 characters (say)
And so it will break the PEP-8 arangement. I can still pass everything in review and break down the lines into more pieces so that it'll still fit. But it is tedious and I feel like this is something I shouldn't have worry about since it doesn't have much to see with my actual coding activity.
What should I do? Is there a way to achieve this without needing to add another level of indentation? Like using a decorator? Or are there magical alternative ways to delimit python blocks? Special characters maybe?
I am willing to write both standard-compliant and easy-to-edit *.py files, but it sometimes is quite a puzzling goal :\
You can use inheritance:
class Foo(object):
"""It is long and it has to deal
with PEP8 code width requirements
which are 72 characters for
comments and docstrings and 79
for actual code.
"""
class_parm = 12
pass # after several long, broken down|
# into several pieces, but in the|
# end *fit* lines of script, phew|
def make_foo(parm):
class Foo2(Foo):
"""Foo without indentation problems."""
class_parm = parm
return Foo2
The child class should not have indentation problems because its very small.
