I'm doing something like this to generate some models dynamically: SIMILAR_MODELS_TEMPLATE= > """ > @some_decorator > class %(PREFIX)sModel (Some_Abs_model): > \"""%(DESCRIPTION)s > \""" > pass > """
then I have a factory: > def similar_models_factory(prefix,description): > format_dict = { > 'PREFIX' : prefix, > 'DESCRIPTION' : description, > } > cls_name = "%sModel" % prefix > cls_source = SIMILAR_MODELS_TEMPLATE % format_dict > > exec(cls_source) > new_cls = locals().get(cls_name) > return new_cls And finally I have in the models.py: > from my_factories import similar_models_factory > SIMILAR_MODELS_LIST =( > {'prefix': 'Foo', 'desc' : 'Foo model and etc..',}, > {'prefix': 'Bars', 'desc' : 'Bars model and etc..',}, > ..... > ) > for smodel in SIMILAR_MODELS_LIST: > cls = similar_models_factory(smodels['prefix'], smodels['desc']) > vars()[cls.__name__] = cls And this gives my just what I want, but I read somewhere that if you do: > exec "" It would be too costly, and I would like to know if this would have some heavy load in my project(and if please, how can I calculate this, to compare?)
