I cannot answer for Alperen, but I commonly encounter this when writing testing code: generally I use the format: some_module.py tests/test_some_module.py where it is expected the filename to test a module is "test_module_name.py". However, within that, I might want to namespace based on the class in some_module.py. If you use something like unittest, classes are natural but if you use pytest it is unnecessary and commonly I end up with what Alperen has: marking everything as classmethod. What I have been looking for is a class/mixin/decorator that marks all methods I add as classmethods. Why bother marking as class_method? Well, I think it is bad practice where possible to have unused input in functions, even in testing code. Often I have made mistakes for example in copy-pasting and it would be caught if you look at unused variables and such matters. YMMV, but this, in some form, gets a +1 from me.

Hi Alperen,
Why do you need a class at all rather than just a module with some functions?

Hi,
Please pardon me if my idea is not making sense or already exists, I'm kind of new to developing in Python but I had this idea today and I wanted to share it with you.
I think a class type such as "@functionclass" may be helpful for creating functions intended to keep a list of methods in a scope.
At the moment, I achieved this via writing "@classmethod" to all my functions but I think such a decorator might help clarify intent for the reader and ease the programmers' job.
My regards, Alperen _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/5FE6HA...
