Weirdly, I'd just realised that SQLObject does most of what I'm
thinking about. It allows you to update a class and that will affect
all the objects already instantiated. It has class persistence in
that it will rebuild the class on startup from the columns in your
table so your 'live' changes will be there after you restart the
server. Though all that is only for the data in the class.
Each method could just contain a call to a function (as I mentioned
above) all the functions could be contained in a module, which would
make it easy to update them as it appears to be easy enough to reload
a module.
The only thing you wouldn't really be able to do is add or remove
methods, which I guess is fine for the moment.
The only thing I'm not sure of is whether SQLObject can store
properties (as in managed attributes) which I need to do for the
'inherit from parent' attribute that I mentioned is a previous thread:
class Page(object):
def __init__(self, parent):
self.__header = None
self.parent = parent
def getheader(self):
if not self._header and self.parent:
return self.parent.header
else:
return self.__header
def setheader(self, header):
self.__header = header
header = property(getheader, setheader)
