spect 0.2

Categorize the members of a python object.

spect

Categorize the members of a python object.

Usage

import spect
import re

respect = spect(re)
print(respect.dunder)
print(respect.private)
# output:
# {'__all__', '__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__spec__', '__version__'}
# {'_compile', '_locale', '_alphanum_bytes', '_expand', '_alphanum_str', '_MAXCACHE', '_pickle', '_subx', '_pattern_type', '_compile_repl', '_cache'}

So far it knows these categories:

• private: _varname
• superprivate: __varname
• alias: varname_
• dunder: __varname__
• regular: varname
• magic: double underscore delimetered (dunder) and callable
• const: any of the above as long as it has letters and all of them are uppercase (e.g. _MAXCACHE)

The categories can be combined and are sets (as are their combinations):

• const_dunder_superprivate: all that are either double underscore delimetered or superprivate and contain no lower case letters. That is equivalent to:

  x = spect(...)
  (x.dunder | x.superprivate) & x.const
  

• prinvate_alias: alias or private, i.e. x.alias | x.private

Installation

python -m pip install --user spect

ToDo

• Make Python 2 compatible (maybe)
• Convert basic tests to pytest ones
• Auto-build, test and upload to pypi on commit
• Ponder getting magic methods from a list (version dependent!)
• Think about callable and Python 3.0 to 3.2 where it was deprecated
