Caveat (s): FOUO
Caveat (s): FOUO
I have a program that collects weather data from weather models. I originally had a module that contained a bunch of function that I used. So I just added it to the init of the class I was using and inherited the functions. That worked great but now I have two different models that I can get weather from. Each Module A and B have the exact same function names in them but they both do slightly different things.
The idea is as I step through a list I want to use a different function (same name but from a different module) for each element in the list. How do I have a generic way to do this.
for example for point 1 I want to use the rain function from Module A and then for point 2 I want to use the rain function from Module B. At first though I would just init the class from either A or B for each point but I need the function from A or B to be able to use function from my main program...that is why the inheritance thing worked great for just one module.
I have tried to make a very simple and not syntactically correct mockup of the code to help illustrate my problem.
class forecast:
def __init__(self)
def calcTime(self):
#calculate some time and date stuff.
x.day = time stuff
x.time = time stuff
def cloths2Wear(self):
self.rain() # I wan to make this simple call but somewhere along the line have set which module
def getPoint(self):
self.pointList = 1,2,3,4,5,6
def pointInfo(self):
# get info about the point say which model to use
x.model = A or B
x = forecast()
x.getPoint()
for each in x.pointList:
x.pointInfo(each)
x.rain() # I want to call the correct function based on what was set in pointInfo.
module A
class A:
def __init__(self):
self.model=A
def rain(self):
self.calTime() # this function is in the main forecast class
self. rain = do stuff for model A
module B
class B:
def __init__(self):
self.model=B
def rain(self):
self.calTime() # this function is in the main forecast class
self. rain = do stuff for model B
Thanks for any ideas you might have.
