hello everybody,
i want to talk with you about a question i have in mind and i do not
find a answer. it 's simple:
why do we not have a beatiful syntax for object definition as we have
for class definition ?
we can define a class in python in 2 ways:
1. by using the metaclass constructor
my_class = MyMetaClass(....)
2. by using the classic definition syntax:
class my_class(object):
__metaclass__ = MyMetaClass
if i want to instanciate an object, i only have one way to define it:
my_obj = my_class(....)
why not a better syntax like class syntax ?
example:
>> instance my_obj:
>> __class__ = my_class
with this syntax, we are coherent between objects and classes.
why do we have a specific syntax for the class object definition and not
for objects of different type?
so if i want to define a new class object (my_class for example) with a
new object syntax:
>> instance my_class:
>> __class__ = object
>> __metaclass__ = MyMetaClass
>> ....
thanks
