Poly - Pytorch
Project description
Poly
A simple Fluid, PolyMorphic,and shapeless package that activates radically flexiblity and simplicity in your programs
Installation
You can install the package using pip
pip install shapeless
Usage
Here's a simple example of how to use the Poly
class:
from shapeless import Poly
# Create a Poly object with an integer
p = Poly(10)
# Determine the type of the data
print(p.determine()) # <class 'int'>
# Shift the data to a string
print(p.shift(str)) # '10'
# Validate that the data is a string
print(p.validate(str)) # True
You can also use Poly
as a type hint in your functions:
from shapeless import Poly
def my_func(a: Poly):
print(type(a))
# Create a Poly object with a string
p = Poly('10')
# Pass the Poly object to my_func
my_func(p) # <class '__main__.Poly'>
Documentation
The Poly
class is a utility class tailored towards dynamic type handling in Python. It provides functionalities that allow developers to determine, select, shift, validate, alias, annotate, extend, serialize, and deserialize types, making it a versatile tool in many programming scenarios. The class also focuses on thread safety and comes with an optional logging mechanism.
Class Definition:

Initialization:
def __init__(self, data: Any, verbose: bool = False):
"""

"""
validate:
def validate(self, target):
"""
Validate that the data is of the target type.
Parameters:
- target: The target type to validate against.

- TypeError: If the data is not of the target type.
"""
add_alias:
def add_alias(self, alias, target):
"""
Add an alias for a type.
Parameters:
- alias: The alias name.
- target: The target type.
"""
annotate:
def annotate(self, annotation):
"""
Annotate the data with a type.
Parameters:
- annotation: The type annotation.

extend:
def extend(self, extension):
"""
Extend the type of the data with a new type.
Parameters:
- extension: The new type to extend with.
"""
serialize:
def serialize(self):
"""
Serialize the data.
Returns:
- The serialized data in byte format.
"""
deserialize:
def deserialize(self, serialized_data):
"""
Deserialize the data.
Parameters:
- serialized_data: The data in serialized format.
Returns:
- The deserialized data.
"""
instancecheck:
def __instancecheck__(self, instance):
"""
Check if an instance is of the selected type.
Parameters:
- instance: The instance to check.
Returns:
- True if the instance is of the selected type, False otherwise.
"""
Usage Examples:
Example 1: Basic Type Handling
from shapeless import Poly
p = Poly(42)
print(p.determine()) # <class 'int'>
Example 2: Shifting and Validation
from shapeless import Poly
p = Poly("123")
p.shift(int) # Transforms "123" to 123
p.validate(int) # Validates data is of type 'int'
Example 3: Aliasing and Serialization
from shapeless import Poly
p = Poly(42)
p.add_alias("Integer", int)
serialized_data = p.serialize()
print(serialized_data) # b'\x80\x04\x95\x11\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00K*.'
deserialized_data = p.deserialize(serialized_data)
print(deserialized_data) # 42
Mathematical Formula:
The Poly
class does not have an inherent mathematical formula as its operations are based on dynamic type handling in a programming context. Instead, it can be thought of as a utility that operates on the set of Python types, with various operations (determination, selection, shifting, etc.) acting as transformations within this set.
Additional Information:
-
Thread Safety: All operations on the
Poly
class are thread-safe, ensuring data consistency and integrity in multi-threaded environments. -
Logging: The
Poly
class has a verbose mode that can be activated upon initialization. This mode logs all operations, which can be helpful for debugging or understanding the sequence of operations applied to the data.

Vision
In today's world, programming languages are often divided into statically-typed and dynamically-typed. While statically-typed languages provide type safety and performance benefits, they often lack the flexibility and simplicity that dynamically-typed languages offer. This has led to a growing demand for tools that can bring the benefits of both worlds together.
We believe the future of programming lies in the ability to handle types in a fluid and flexible manner, without sacrificing the benefits of static typing. However, achieving this is not easy. It requires a deep understanding of both static and dynamic typing, as well as the ability to create a tool that is easy to use, performant, and thread-safe.
Many have tried to solve this problem, but none have succeeded. The challenge lies in creating a tool that is both powerful and simple to use. It requires a radical new approach, one that is not constrained by the traditional boundaries of static and dynamic typing.
That's where Poly comes in. Our secret is our deep understanding of the problems with static types. As creators of multi-modality and fluid intelligences with no defined shape, we have the unique insight and expertise needed to solve this problem. We have created a tool that allows you to handle dynamic types in a flexible and thread-safe manner, without sacrificing the benefits of static typing.
We are confident that Poly is the best solution to this problem. With our unique approach and deep expertise, we are perfectly positioned to bring this vision to life. Join us on this journey and experience the future of programming today.
