Hi,
I'm trying to write a small installer for a server. But this program
should be able to run in the future under heterogenous environments and
os (at least linux/windows). I mean, the install will be done either in
text mode or curses or gtk or tk, either in debian or windows 2000 and
so on...
The idea, at the moment, is as follows :
class Server:
def __init__(self, params = None):
self.params = params
def __getattr__(self, attr):
return self.params.get(attr, None)
class Installer:
def __init__(self, gui = None):
self.gui = gui
self.srv = None
def update(self, dict):
self.srv = Server(dict)
class Gui:
def __init__(self, installer = None):
self.installer = installer
def main():
## Some stuff here calling doIt() when the
## user is done with filling various fields
def doIt(self):
dict = {"param1":"qwerty", "param2":"uiop"}
self.installer.update(dict)
def main():
inst = Installer()
gui = Gui(inst)
inst.gui = gui
inst.gui.main()
## Here will be the actual install method
## ...
## An example of accessing srv values:
print inst.srv.param1, inst.srv.param2
But, considering this code, I find the 3 first lines of my main() a bit
heavy. I have to inform inst that it has a 'gui', and Gui that it has an
'installer'. I was trying to implement something looking like (very
roughly) to the Observer pattern (so that the Gui would be totally
independant from the actual install process).
I guess there is something wrong in my approach. Is there a better
pattern than this one for that kind of stuff ?
Tanks for your help.
