List: I have this:
# classC.py class C(object): pass class D(C): pass class E(C): pass def CSubclasses(): for name in dir(): pass I'm trying to create a list of all of C's subclasses: import classC print C aList = [] for name in dir(classC): print name, try: if issubclass(classC.__dict__[name], C): print classC.__dict__[name] else: print except TypeError: print Which gives me this: <class '__main__.C'> C CSubclasses D E __builtins__ __doc__ __file__ __name__ However when I do this from the command line: >>> issubclass(D,C) True but >>> issubclass(classC.__dict__['D'], C) False So my approach is flawed. The end result I'm after is an automatically generated dictionary containing instaces of the subclasses keyed by the subclass names: {'D':D(), 'E':E(), . . . } I can see the information I need in the module's __dict__ and by using the dir() method, but I'm not having much success extracting it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
