Role system for Python3

Project description

pyrrole

pyrrole formula

pyrrole is a Role System for Python3 (3.6 and high). It's inspired by the roles implementation in the Moose library of Perl, and its main purpose is to use instead of Mixin classes and multiple inheritance.

ATTENTION: This package is WIP in alpha release

Test

If you would test before install, follow these instructions:

$ git clone https://github.com/MatteoGuadrini/pyrrole.git
$ cd pyrrole
$ python -m unittest test_role.py

Install

For install this package, run pip install:

$ pip install --user pyrrole

Simple role

Here is an example of how a role can be done:

import pyrrole

class FallFromTree(metaclass=pyrrole.Role):
    pass

class Fruit:
    pass

@FallFromTree
class Apple(Fruit):
    pass

apple = Apple()

print(apple.__roles__)

In this example, the Apple class inherits from Fruit but not FallFromTree. FallFromTree is a role class that applies to classes so that they acquire the roles attribute.

Role method

By default, all methods or attribute is inherited from a role class except the dunder methods (ex. __str__).. To force the import of a dunder or normal method, just enclose the method to inherit in a role_method decorator.

import pyrrole

class FallFromTree(metaclass=pyrrole.Role):
    
    @pyrrole.role_method
    def __str__(cls):
        return f"Fall from tree"

class Fruit:
    pass

@FallFromTree
class Apple(Fruit):
    pass

apple = Apple()

print(apple)

More roles

An ordinary class can have multiple roles at the same time.

import pyrrole

@pyrrole.role                                  # use role with decorator
class FallFromTree:
    
    def __init__(self, instance):
        self.trees = list()
        self.trees.append(instance)
    
    def fall(self, tree='tree'):
        return f"Fall from {tree}"
    
@pyrrole.role                                   # use role with decorator
class Deciduous:
    
    def __init__(self, instance):
        self.trees = list()
        self.trees.append(instance)
    
    def clean_leaf(self):
        return f"Clean all leaf"

class Fruit:
    pass

@pyrrole.apply_roles(FallFromTree, Deciduous)               # apply more role at same time
@pyrrole.rename_role_methods(clean_leaf='clean_apple_leaf') # renamed role names
class Apple(Fruit):
    def clean_leaf(self):
        return f"Clean all leaf of apple tree"

apple = Apple()

# apple has role?
pyrrole.has_role(apple, FallFromTree)   # True
pyrrole.has_role(apple, Deciduous)      # True

print(apple.__roles__)                  # ['FallFromTree', 'Deciduous']
print(apple.clean_apple_leaf())         # method renamed from the Deciduous role
print(apple.fall('apple tree'))         # method forced inherited from the FallFromTree role
