Consider the following:

########################################
class Parent:
def some_method(self):
return Parent(...)
class Child(Parent):
pass
########################################
Child().some_method() returns a Parent instance.
We can rewrite Parent like this to avoid that
########################################
class Parent:
def some_method(self):
return self.__class__(...)
class Child(Parent):
def some_method(self):
return Parent.some_method(self)
########################################
But this style makes code full with ugly self.__class__
Any standard/pythonic way out there?
That's a perfectly good way to do it. If __class__ really
offends you that much, wrap it in another (probably static)
method:
class Parent(object):
def some_method(self):
return self.another_one(...)
@staticmethod
def another_one(...):
return Parent(...)
class Child(Parent):
def some_method(self):
return Parent.some_method(self)
@staticmethod
def another_one(...):
return Child(...)
