I have some code to autogenerate some boilerplate code so that I don't
need to do the tedious setup stuff when I want to create a new module.
So, my script prompts the user for the module name, then opens two
files and those files each get the contents of one of these functions:
def GetPyContents(module):
boilerplate = \
"""
class %s:
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
import unittest
unittest.main('%s_t')
"""
return boilerplate % ((module,) * 2)
def GetTestContents(module):
boilerplate = \
"""from %s import *
import unittest
class Test%s(unittest.TestCase):
def testConstruction(self):
self.failUnless(%s())
def testWriteMoreTests(self):
self.fail('This test should fail.')
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()
"""
return boilerplate % ((module,) * 3)
My question is, I don't like hardcoding the number of times that the
module name should be repeated in the two return functions. Is there
an straight forward (inline-appropriate) way to count the number of
'%s'es in the 'boilerplate' strings? ...or maybe a different and more
Pythonic way to do this? (Maybe I could somehow use generators?)
thx.
-tom!
