Hi everyone I'm sure this question is kinda stupid and has been answered a few times before... but I need your help!
I'm writing a small application where the user can analyze some text based on a set of changing conditions , and right now I'm stuck on a point where I'd like to automatically generate new classes that operate based on those user-defined conditions. Is there a way in python to define a class in runtime? For instance, can I define a class which extends another(that I have previously defined in some module) , create some instance completely on the fly and then add/redefine methods to it? If affirmative, I've thought of a problem I would maybe have to face: as the class has been defined by direct input to the python interpreter, I could only create instances of it on the same session I entered the definition(because it's not on a module I can load on future uses) but not afterwards. Is there a way to keep that code? Even more newbie paranoia: what would happen if I make that 'on the fly" object persist via pickle? Where would Python find the code to handle it once unpickled on another session (once again, i take that no code with the definition of that instance would exist, as it was never stored on a module). Hope it wasn't too ridiculous an idea. Thank you for your time, guys. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
