I would like to know if a class definition has a decorator,
I'm not sure what this question means.
Applying a decorator to a class definition produces a normal class.
Classes don't “have” decorators; classes can be returned by a decorator
function, but AFAIK the resulting class doesn't “have” the decorator in
any sense.
is that possible ?
The return value of a decorator isn't special in any way, AFAIK.
Any function can return a class object or a function object, and any
function can be used as a decorator.
The only thing that makes a function a decorator is how it is used in
the code; but it doesn't leave a trace that I know of.
Now, what is it you're trying to do? Perhaps there's a better solution
we can come up with.
Thanks Ben,
here some more explanation.
I've a number of (dynamic) applications,
launched from a central wrapper.
All these modules have a class "Start", which launches the application
and embeds them in the wrapper application.
Module 1:
class Start ():
....
Module 2:
@auth
class Start ():
...
When the wrapper application is started, it looks for all dynamic
modules (without importing them),
and list these application in a hierarchical tree.
In the above axmple,
I would like to know that the class "Start" in Module 2 has the
decorator "Auth", *without importing the module*,
(so depending on the user logged in, I can decide to add or not add
the module to the hierarchical tree).
thanks,
Stef Mientki
You best bet is to parse the source file.
