Brett Cannon added the comment: While seing if it was worth making isinstance work with super(), I came up with this at Antoine's suggestion of using a proxy instead of a mixin:
class LazyProxy(importlib.abc.Loader): def __init__(self, loader): self.loader = loader def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.args = args self.kwargs = kwargs return self def load_module(self, fullname): # XXX ignoring sys.modules details, e.g. if module already existed. lazy_module = LazyModule(fullname, proxy=self, name=fullname) sys.modules[fullname] = lazy_module return lazy_module class LazyModule(types.ModuleType): def __init__(*args, proxy, name, **kwargs): self.__proxy = proxy self.__name = name super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) def __getattribute__(self, attr): self.__class__ = Module state = self.__dict__.copy() loader = self.__proxy.loader(*self.proxy.args, **self.proxy.kwargs) # XXX ignoring sys.modules details, e.g. removing module on load failure. loader.load_module(self.__name) self.__dict__.update(state) return getattr(module, attr) ---------- dependencies: +Make isinstance() work with super type instances _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17621> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
