I have a fairly simple bit of code, something like: # This should be importing the subclasses somehow, so that the factory # can make them. # import Parser.One # import Parser.Two # or.. from Parser import *? class Parser(): def parse: 'Implemented only in subclass'
def make_parser(which_parser): if(which_parser = 'one'): return One() else: return Two() # import Parser? class One(Parser): def parse: 'one implementation' class Two(Parser): def parse: 'another implementation' The problem I have is that I don't understand how to put this into actual files in actual directories and have the interpreter do something actually useful :-) . What I would like to do is something like: lib/ Parser.py Parser/ __init__.py (maybe?) One.py Two.py But I'm not clear on how to structure the import statements. I'm a bit of a newb wrt python, and I get any number of different errors depending on how I arrange the import statements, everything from AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'make_parser' to ImportError: cannot import name to TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases depending on how I use import. Nothing seems to be the correct combination. Any help would be much appreciated! Austin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
