All, My application deals with strings formatting. I have built-in methods but I also expect the user to add its methods in its own .py files (some sort of plugin methods, all user methods should be exposed in my application).
Here is the structure I have thought of : formatting.py _formattingDict = {} #a dict composed of all available methods, both builtin and user def expose(...) : #adds a method to the dict builtinformatting.py import myapp.formatting.expose @expose def builtinMethod(inputStr) : return someOutput /home/user/.myapp/customformatting.py import myapp.formatting.expose @expose def customMethod(inputStr) : return someOutput model.py #References all the methods, both builtin and custom execfile("builtinformatting.py") execfile("/home/user/.myapp/customformatting.py") Expected result after the execfile : formatting._formattingDict contains the 2 methods builtinMethod and customMethod Is this a proper way of structuring my application ? Do you see anything better ? Moreover, I dislike execfile("builtinformatting.py") since classic import would do the job. However I first wanted a united method for both builtin and custom scripts since it is the same logic for me. Thanks very much in advance for your advice.
