Classist

Pretty classist signature inheritance with decorators.

Features

This is just a basic proof of concept. Currently, only very basic runtime signature inheritance is implemented. It may be possible to generate stubs to support static type checking.

Usage

import classist
import inspect

class A:
    def __init__(self, a: int):
        self.a = a

@classist.decorate
class B:
    def __init__(self, t: int, *args):
        self.b = b
        super().__init__(*args)

print(inspect.signature(B.__init__))

Installation

pip install classist
