Forwarding to the list.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laureano Arcanio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, May 21, 2008 at 10:41 PM Subject: Re: [Tutor] listing classes To: Kent Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm building a light html serialize tool, it's going to be used to build templates on the fly for ToscaWidgets. I have it already working, but i'm traying to make a "user friendly" way to declare Tags and Documents. ( that with some other facilities ) So the idea of the class containing classes, it's just with that end. Syntactic sugar let's say. The problem comes because i need to keep the order of the HTML tags, and as you say dict doesn't work like that.. I've working on this metaclass, and then extend list with it, but i have the same problem, the dct comes in a dict... class MetaHTML(type): def __new__(meta, name , bases, dct): # Deletes methods and attributes containing "_" items = [] for key, value in dct.items(): if '_' in key: dct.pop(key) items = [tag() for tag in dct.values()] def __init__(self, items=items): self.extend(items) dct.update({'__slots__':[], '__init__':__init__}) return type.__new__(meta,name,bases,dct) class HTML(list): __metaclass__ = MetaHTML I'm write this metaclass inspired in the WidgetsList that comes shipped with toscawidgets. I can do definitely the same using a list and just doing: document = [A(), B()] But it's not so nice. Any suggestion ?
