subproxy 0.0.4

General Subprocess Proxy Object

Subproxy

General Subprocess Proxy Object.

Installation

Mostly targetting pip for package management for now:

pip3 install subproxy

Usage

Simplest example:

from subproxy import subproxy

class MyClass:
    pass

MyClassProxy = subproxy(MyClass)

# now MyClassProxy may be treated like `MyClass`,
# except when it doesn't work.

Also see the test file for a quick reference.

Limitations

While the proxy generally works, we do have to draw the line somewhere in transitioning between native objects and proxy objects.

Therefore, the below code would work:

MyClassProxy = subproxy(MyClass)
p = MyClassProxy()
p.a = 'b'
print(p.a) # 'b'

But the below code would not work:

MyClassProxy = subproxy(MyClass)
p = MyClassProxy()
p.a = {'a':0, 'b':1}
p.a['a'] = 1
print(p.a['a']) # still 0

This is because p.a would return a dict rather than a subproxy(dict).
