Hi,I hope that this hasn't been asked for the millionth time, so my apologies if it has. I have a base class (BaseClass - we'll call it for this example) with an http call that i would like to inherit into a dynamic class at runtime. We'll call that method in BaseClass; 'request'. I have a dictionary(json) of key (class name): value(method) that I would like to create inheriting this 'request' method from the BaseClass. So the derived class would look something like this definition in json: {"Whatever": [{"method1": "Some Default", "async": True},{"method2": "Some Other Default", "async": True}]} Ideally I'd like the class def to look something like this if i were to type it out by hand [excuse the indents] class Whatever(BaseClass): def method1(self): stupid_data = super(Whatever, self).request("method1") return stupid_data def method2(self): stupid_data = super(Whatever, self).request("method1") return stupid_data Now, I've been trying to do this using the python cli, with out success. So, attempting this at runtime I get a plethora of wonderful errors that I suspect has broken my brain. Here is what i've tried: # trying with just an empty object of type BaseClass obj = type("Object", (BaseClass,), {}) whatever = type("WhatEver", (obj,), {"method1": super(WhatEver, self).request("method1")})
'method1' has to be mapped to a function object.
but when i try this I get 'NameError: name 'self' is not defined' defining these classes manually works... I hope that this was clear enough, apologies if it wasn't. It's late(ish), I'm tired and borderline frustrated :) But enough about me... Thanks in advance.
