julien greard commented on THRIFT-2642: --------------------------------------- I did my own work around: in the example above, I replaced the code: class Recursive: thrift_spec = ( None, # 0 (1, TType.LIST, 'Children', (TType.STRUCT,(Recursive, Recursive.thrift_spec)), None, ), # 1 ) by class Recursive: pass Recursive.thrift_spec = None depth = 0 max_depth = 50 while (depth < max_depth): depth += 1 Recursive. thrift_spec = ( None, # 0 (1, TType.LIST, 'Children', (TType.STRUCT,(Recursive, Recursive.thrift_spec)), None, ), # 1 ) Which seems to do the job... It's ugly because I have to edit the generated code afterward, but I didn't want to touch at the code generator in Thrift code... what do you think ? > Recursive structs don't work in python > -------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-2642 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2642 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Python - Compiler, Python - Library > Affects Versions: 0.9.2 > Reporter: Igor Kostenko > > Recursive structs in 0.9.2 work fine in c++ & c#, but not in python, because > generated code trying to use objects which not constructed yet. > Struct: > {quote}struct Recursive { > 1: list<Recursive> Children > } > {quote} > Python code: > {quote}class Recursive: > thrift_spec = ( > None, # 0 > (1, TType.LIST, 'Children', (TType.STRUCT,(Recursive, > Recursive.thrift_spec)), None, ), # 1 > ) > {quote} > An error: > {quote}Traceback (most recent call last): > File "ttypes.py", line 20, in <module> > class Recursive: > File "ttypes.py", line 28, in Recursive > (1, TType.LIST, 'Children', (TType.STRUCT,(Recursive, > Recursive.thrift_spec)), None, ), # 1 > NameError: name 'Recursive' is not defined > {quote} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
