you can also add methods to an existing class like this:<br><br>class A(object):<br> ...<br><br>def foo(self,x,y):<br> ...<br><br>A.foo = foo<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 3:22 PM, Michael Foord <<a href="mailto:fuzzyman@voidspace.org.uk">fuzzyman@voidspace.org.uk</a>> wrote:<br>

Our company has a scripting/macro system. Functions are stored in a database and at runtime we generate python classes. For a form we have multiple functions declared. We want to use IronPython studio to emit the python classes to a file to be debugged. Is it possible to build a partial class so that we can have one file per function.<br>

Emit them as one file per function. Then have one file that imports them all and constructs a dictionary mapping function name to imported function. You can turn it into a class by calling:<br>
<br>
new_class = type(name, (object,), dict_of_functions)<br>
<br>
type is the default metaclass, and responsible for creating new classes. Every function will be a method of the new class.<br>
