mro-tools 0.3.0

Installing

You can install mro-tools using pip:

$ pip install mro-tools

Why?

Inheritance is wonderful. Except when its not. How many times did you have to debug a complex class with MRO of >30 classes? You will then know its not pleasant. Editors don’t help much since as soon you jump to a base class, all editor inheritance calculations are relative to the jumped class, not the original subclass. That makes it non-trivial to see what actually happens within code execution without dropping into pdb. This package aims to aid with such issues. It has a collection of cli tools which help troubleshooting complex classes with big MRO trees.

Using

MRO tools exposes all tools via a single group command. All available commands can be seen by executing mro-tools command:

❯❯❯ mro-tools
Usage: mro-tools [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  method  Get all method definitions within all classes...
  version  Print version of mro-tools

Each sub-command has more documentation:

❯❯❯ mro-tools version --help
Usage: mro-tools version [OPTIONS]

  Print version of mro-tools

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

mro-tools can also be accessed as a Python module:

❯❯❯ python -m mro_tools
