Example: Timer class
Problem: Write a Timer
class.
class Timer:
pass
def timepass():
for i in range(10000):
for j in range(1000):
x = i*j
t = Timer()
t.start()
timepass()

%%file numbers.txt
one

def wordcount(fileobj):
lc = len(fileobj.readlines())
fileobj.seek(0)
wc = len(fileobj.read().split())
fileobj.seek(0)
cc = len(fileobj.read())
return lc, wc, cc
print wordcount(open("numbers.txt"))
class FakeFile:
def read(self):
return "one\ntwo\nthree\n"
def readlines(self):
return ["one\n", "two\n", "three\n"]
def seek(self, pos):
pass
print wordcount(FakeFile())
class Foo: pass
f = Foo()
f.read = lambda: ""
f.readlines = lambda: []
f.seek = lambda n: 0
print wordcount(f)
Problem: Write a class UpperCaseFile
, that takes a fileobj as argument and behaves like a file, but returns everything in uppercase
when read.
f = UpperCaseFile(open("numbers.txt"))
line = f.readline() # should give "ONE\n"
lines = f.readlines() # should give ["TWO\n", "THREE\n", "FOUR\n", "FIVE\n"]
f = UpperCaseFile(open("numbers.txt"))
print wordcount(f) # should be same as wordcount(open("numbers.txt"))
There is a StringIO
class in StringIO
module that give file like interface to in-memory object.
from StringIO import StringIO
f = StringIO()
f.write("hello\nworld\n")
f.seek(0)
print f.read()
f.seek(0)
print wordcount(f)
Special Class Methods
x = 1
print x
class Point:
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self.y = y
def __str__(self):
return "(%s, %s)" % (self.x, self.y)
p = Point(2, 3)
print p
print repr(1)
print repr("hello")
print "hello"
[1, 2, "3, 4"]
print p
print [p]
print repr(p)
We need to implement __repr__
to fix that.
class Point:
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self.y = y
def __str__(self):
return "(%s, %s)" % (self.x, self.y)
def __repr__(self):
return "Point(%s, %s)" % (self.x, self.y)
p = Point(2, 3)
print p, [p, "hello", (2, 3), 5]
Emulating Container Types
# Do you know what happens when you do this?
x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
print x[1]
x.__getitem__(1)
x = xrange(2, 8)
print len(x)
print x[3]
x.__len__()
Example: yrange
Lets write a class yrange
that behaves like built-in class xrange
.
Example: Node
class
class yrange:
def __init__(self, start, stop):
self.start = start
self.stop = stop
def __len__(self):
return self.stop - self.start
def __getitem__(self, index):
return self.start + index
y = yrange(2, 8)
print len(y)
print y[3]
Problem: Implement a Node class that allows accessing properties like a dictionary.
class Node:
def __init__(self, tagname, **attrs):
self.tagname = tagname
x = Node("input", type='text', name='x', id='id_x')
x['class'] = 'required'
x['value'] = 'foo'
print x['name'], x['value']
print x
## Command library using classes
%%file command1.py

cmd.run(sys.argv[2:])
!python grep2.py def grep2.py
Problem: Write a script replace.py
using Command
class to replace a pattern
with
a replacement
in given files. The script will get the pattern and replacement as first two arguments, followed by one or more files as input.
python replace.py def define grep2.py command1.py
Lets try to improve the Command
class to handle to make it more generic.
%%file command2.py
"""A new approach to writing Command class.

Understanding Methods
class Foo:
x = 1
def getx(self):
return self.x
foo = Foo()
print foo.getx()
print Foo.getx(foo)
Foo.getx
foo.getx
def add(x, y):
return x+y
def make_adder(x):
def adder(y):
return add(x, y)
return adder
add5 = make_adder(5)
print add5(6)
def bindself(method, self):
"""Returns a new function with self already bound"""
def f(*a, **kw):
return method(self, *a, **kw)
return f
f = bindself(Foo.getx, foo)
f()
Looking inside objects
class Foo:
x = 1
def getx(self):
return self.x
foo = Foo()
Foo
dir(Foo)
Foo.__dict__
Foo.__dict__['x'] = 2
Foo.x
Foo.__dict__['y'] = 3
Foo.y
# Lets try to find how add5 is storing value of x
dir(add5)
def inc(x, amount=1): return x+amount
inc.func_defaults
How Python stores variables?
x = 1 # what does this mean?
g = globals()
g['x']
g['x'] = 2
x
Understanding Function Calls
def add(x, y): return x+y
add(5, 4)
d = [1, 2, 3]
d[2]
Foo
Foo()
class Adder:
def __init__(self, x):
self.x = x
def __call__(self, y):
return add(self.x, y)
add5 = Adder(5)
print add5(6)
Problem: Write timeit
decorator as a class.
class timeit:
....
@timeit
def timepass():
for i in range(10000):
for j in range(1000):
x = i*j
Understanding Atributes
class Foo(object):
x = 1
foo = Foo()
foo.x = 1
foo.x
getattr(foo, "x")
class Attr:
def __getattr__(self, name):
return name.upper()
a = Attr()
a.x
a.y
a.foo
getattr(a, "x")
Old-Style vs. New-Style Classes
x = 1
type(x)
type(int)
class Foo: pass
type(Foo)
type(file)
class Foo(object): pass
type(Foo)
class Foo(object):
def __len__(self): return 4
foo = Foo()
len(foo)
foo.__len__ = lambda: 5
len(foo)
class Bar:
def __len__(self): return 4
bar = Bar()
len(bar)
bar.__len__ = lambda: 5
len(bar)
class Bar:
x = 1
def getx(self): return self.x
bar = Bar()
print bar.getx()
# What does this mean? bar.getx()
# f = bar.getx
# f()
# What what does x[1]
Properties
class Person(object):
firstname = "Foo"
lastname = "Bar"
_phonenumber = "0"
@property
def fullname(self):
return self.firstname + " " + self.lastname
@property
def phone(self):
return self._phonenumber
@phone.setter
def phone(self, value):
if len(value) != 10:
raise ValueError("Invalid Phone number")
self._phonenumber = value
#phone = property(_get_phone, _set_phone)
p = Person()
print p.fullname
print p.phone
p.phone = "1234567890"
print p.phone
dir(Person)
Person.phone
p.phone
p.firstname
p.__dict__
Person.__dict__
Person.phone.__get__(p)
Person.phone is a property object, but p.phone gives us a string value instead of a property.
class SimpleDescriptor(object):
def __get__(self, obj, type=None):
if obj is None:
return self
else:
return 1
class Foo:
x = SimpleDescriptor()
Foo.x
foo = Foo()
foo.x
Lets try to implement property class.
