Hello, I'm looking for an explanation where live classes created by types.new_class() :
py> import types py> types.new_class('A') types.A py> types.A AttributeError: module 'types' has no attribute 'A' py> _.__module__ 'types' The new class comes from `types` module without being inside. That's annoying to me for my use case : I'm trying to create dataclasses on the fly usingĀ make_dataclass (which uses types.new_class). For new created classes, I have a cache to not recreate twice the same class. But I want to be sure not to override an existing class somewhere in the namespace which is already 'types.MyNewclass'. but how to check it if it's not in types ? To be clear : make_dataclass('Bla', {}) should raise an error if something named 'types.Bla' already exists. I hope I'm clear enough. Jimmy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
