I have an Event class that creates an object when "events" are pulled from
the database. It also creates event objects from user input - the user can
then commit() these events to the database.
So, event objects are created from two different sources (actually more,
but, for simplicity..): from 1) user input coming from javascript, and 2)
from a database lookup.
I want to run different initialization code depending on which source the
data is coming from - such as, I want to error-check user input, but I
don't need to error-check database lookups. What are some python/pyramid
best practices? Is there a term for this? I think inheritance would
create too many subclasses and wonky coding. "Overloading" doesn't seem
like the right term for it.
Right now, I am passing a {'source': 'none'/'html'/'database'/'etc'}
parameter to the Event.__init__(). I then use if statements to go from
there. It works and it's easy to add a new 'source', but it seems sloppy.
Thanks for any help.
