Hi,
I am in a situation where I feel I am being forced to abandon a clean
module structure in favor of a large single module. If anyone can save
my sanity here I would be forever grateful.
My problem is that classes in several modules share a common base
class which needs to implement a factory method to return instances of
these same classes.
An example to help illustrate what I mean:
Lets say I have the following modules with the listed classes:
- baselib.py with BaseClass
- types.py with TypeA, ...
- special.py with SpecialTypeA, ...
Which would be used a bit like this:
type_a = any_type_instance.get_type("TypeA")
special_type = type_a.get_type("SpecialTypeA")
Again, I can get around this by dumping everything in to one module,
but it muddies the organization of the package a bit. This seems like
a problem that would come up a lot. Are there any design paradigms I
can apply here?
I'm not an expert, I even don't fully understand your problem,
but having struggled with imports in the past,
I've a solution now, which seems to work quit well.
cheers,
Stef
