Hi I was wondering whether anyone could help me, I'm pretty new to python coming from a PHP background and I'm having a few products in getting my head round how to write the factory pattern within python.
I'm currently looking to try to return values from a db and load up the relevant objects, values returned are product type (I,S) and product code (123). At the moment I've adapted some code I've found illustrating the factory method but ideally I would like to use the type to load up the relevant object. Another issue I've found is that I don't seem to be able to access to the price attribute of each of the object. I'm sure these are very straightforward issues however I seem to have tied myself in knots over this and could do with a fresh set of 'pythonic' eyes to help me out. registry = {} class MetaBase(type): def __init__(cls, name, bases, dict): registry[name] = cls class Product(object): __metaclass__ = MetaBase class Item(Product): def __init__(self, *args, **kw): self.price = 1 class Set(Product): def __init__(self, *args, **kw): self.price = 2 def factory(kind, *args, **kw): return registry[kind](*args, **kw) item = registry['Item'] print item.price -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Factory-pattern-again-tf4156186.html#a11825158 Sent from the Python - python-list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
