Hi everybody,
Today I have learned a bit of the news of Python 3.0 compared to 2.4
version.
By the way, I have asked myself if it is possible to add a method to a
builtin type as 'unicode':
>>> a="foo"
>>> type(a)
<type 'unicode'>
>>> print(dir(a))
['__add__', ..., 'zfill']
For example, I would like to add a "colorize" method to 'unicode' objects.
Is this possible?
Or am I compelled to derive the unicode builtin as below:
class my_unicode(unicode):
def __init__( self, unicode_string ):
super( my_unicode, self ).__init__( )
def colorize( self ):
return "\x1b[93;102m" + self + "\x1b[0m"
my_unicode_string = my_unicode( "coucou" )
print( type( my_unicode_string ) )
print( my_unicode_string.colorize() )
print( my_unicode_string.upper() )
Thanks,
Julien
