OK, somewhere in here I think I get what you want to do. Essentially
you want to set a lot of attributes on some object which is almost
always named "self", and the "set a lot of attributes" varies as
separate chunks. The perfect application for a function (not a _pure_
function in the functional programming sense). So, it is my opinion
that you want to define a function to call, not include code from some
other file.
Basically, doing in a class method
def(self, a, b, c):
self.a = a
self.b = b
self.c = c
sounds stupid. With next instance I'll loose a, b, c, so I have to save
then to a variable, "self." prefix is generally proposed way. But
it's not surprising a gets to self.a, right? Actually, I thought about
the *args tuple and even **kwargs, but I thought this will make the core
even less readable. Thinking of it now, you'd probably do
self.__dict__.update(kwargs), right? Hmm, but does it assign to self or not?
I mean, does it equivalent to `a = 1' or `self.a = 1' ? The latter seem to
be true, right?
How about:
Here are some "whole lot of variables" functions, put them in 'code.py':
def do_a_bunch(obj):
obj.a = 123
obj.b = 3.141529
obj.c = 'what on earth?'
obj.author = u'Charles Dickens'
...
def do_other_stuff(obj):
obj.a = 123456789
obj.b2 = 3.141529 ** .5
obj.c = u'Where in Jupiter?'
obj.author = u'Martin MOKREJŠ'
...
And here is how you use them:
from code import do_a_bunch, do_other_stuff
class SomethingOrOther(SomeSuperClass):
def __init__(self, stuff, nonsense):
SomeSuperClass.__init__(self, stuff)
self.fiddle(nonsense)
do_a_bunch(self)
def some_other_method(self):
...
do_a_bunch(self)
def mangle(self):
...
do_other_stuff(self)
I'm newbie, sure.
That is why I was trying to figure out your original requirement,
not how to accomplish your original plan. I was trying to see if
there was a good reason you needed to use "#include" - like behavior.
Does something like this address your problem?
This doesn't help me. ;)
