This doesn't work for me. I have a class which is used to decorate
functions, returning a callable object in the place of the original
function. So, instances of this class must be able to be used anywhere
a function would be used, and this means getting method behavior when
it is used in a class body.
A working implementation would be (in 3.0):
from functools import partial
from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod
class method_behavior(metaclass = ABCMeta):
def __get__(self, instance, owner):
if instance is None:
return self.__call__
return partial(self.__call__, instance)
@abstractmethod
def __call__(): pass
Then, any decorator class can inherit from it:
class foo(method_behavior):
def __init__(self, func):
self.func = func
def __call__(self, *args, **kwds):
print("calling decorated func")
return self.func(*args, **kwds)
Then, we can decorate a function with foo (via @foo) and it will work
either inside a class body or outside, it works everywhere an
undecorated function would work, eg.:
@foo
def bar():
print('bar')
class baz:
@foo
def bar(self):
print('bar')
What I am asking is whether there is a way to directly inherit method
behavior, instead of inexactly rewriting it as I did in
method_behavior.__get__().
