Say I have a json file look like:
{
"foo": ["hi", "there"],
"bar": ["nothing"]
}
I'd like to create an abstract base class (ABC), where the name of abstract methods are the keys of the json above, i.e.:
from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod
class MyABC(metaclass=ABCMeta):
@abstractmethod
def foo(self):
pass
@abstractmethod
def bar(self):
pass
The problem is the json file actually has lots of keys. I wonder if there's any way like:
import json
with open("the_json.json") as f:
the_json = json.load(f)
class MyABC(metaclass=ABCMeta):
# for k in the_json.keys():
# create abstract method k
Thanks for the suggestions from the comments, but somehow it doesn't work as expected. Here is what I tried:
class MyABC(metaclass=ABCMeta):
pass
def f(self):
pass
setattr(MyABC, "foo", abstractmethod(f))
# I also tried
# setattr(MyABC, "foo", abstractmethod(lambda self: ...))
# Try to define another class that inherits MyABC
class MyClass(MyABC):
pass
c = MyClass()
# Now this should trigger TypeError but it doesn't
# I can even call c.foo() without getting any errors
This may work :
from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod
with open("the_json.json") as f:
the_json = json.load(f)
class MyABC(metaclass=ABCMeta):
def func(self):
pass
for k in the_json:
locals()[k] = abstractmethod(func)
# Delete attribute "func" is a must
# Otherwise it becomes an additional abstract method in MyABC
delattr(MyABC, "func")
delattr(MyABC, "f")
delattr(MyABC, "k")
class MyClass(MyABC):
pass
MyClass()
# TypeError: Can't instantiate abstract class MyClass with abstract methods bar, foo
It will correctly throw an error if you try to instantiate MyABC, or a subclass of MyABC that doesn't implement the abstract methods.
