Hello
I want to creat a program that can inspect a set of classes that i have
made and spit out a savable version of these classes. To do this I need
to be able to inspect each class and get all of its instance data as
well as information about a particular meathod. This is what i want it
to do:
class song:
def __init__(self, name, artist, album, published):
self.name = name
self.artist = artist
self.album = album
self.published = published
def build(self, name, artist, album, published):
self.name = name
self.artist = artist
self.album = album
self.published = published
#now what i want to do with this dummy class
s = song("12:51", "The Strokes", "Room on Fire", 2005)
print getTextVersion(s)
<class>
<name>song</name>
<data>
<attribute>
<date_type>string</data_type>
<value>12:51</value>
<attribute_name>name</attribute_name>
</attribute>
<attribute>
<date_type>string</data_type>
<value>The Strokes</value>
<attribute_name>artist</attribute_name>
</attribute>
<attribute>
<date_type>string</data_type>
<value>Room on Fire</value>
<attribute_name>album</attribute_name>
</attribute>
<attribute>
<date_type>int</data_type>
<value>2005</value>
<attribute_name>published</attribute_name>
</attribute>
</data>
<build_parameter_order>name artist album
published</build_parameter_order>
</class>
I have no idea how to do the inspection part of this little problem. I
could just have each class define its own meathod to convert to this
format, but that would be a lot of work when i could just make one
class that solves the problem for all classes. Is there a way to do
this?
cheers
