anymethod 0.1.1

@anymethod = instance method and @classmethod

anymethod

@anymethod = instance method + @classmethod

For the cases when class and its instances can be used interchangeably, code duplication can be avoided if the same member function works both as @classmethod and instance method.

This can be easily achieved with Python descriptors.

Installation

$ pip install anymethod

Example A

>>> from anymethod import anymethod

>>> class FooBar:
...     @anymethod
...     def whoami[O](owner: O) -> O:
...         return owner

>>> FooBar.whoami()
<class '__main__.FooBar'>

>>> FooBar().whoami()
<__main__.FooBar object at 0x...>

Example B

from typing import Any, ClassVar
from anymethod import anymethod


class FooBar:
    _cls: ClassVar[list[Any]] = []
    _obj: list[Any]

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self._obj = []

    @anymethod
    def add_value(owner, v: Any) -> None:
        if isinstance(owner, type):
            owner._cls.append(v)
        else:
            owner._obj.append(v)
