Struct PyClassInitializer

pub struct PyClassInitializer<T>(/* private fields */)
where
    T: PyClass;

Available on crate features dep_pyo3 and std only.

Initializer for our #[pyclass] system.

You can use this type to initialize complicatedly nested #[pyclass].

Examples

#[pyclass(subclass)]
struct BaseClass {
    #[pyo3(get)]
    basename: &'static str,
}
#[pyclass(extends=BaseClass, subclass)]
struct SubClass {
    #[pyo3(get)]
    subname: &'static str,
}
#[pyclass(extends=SubClass)]
struct SubSubClass {
    #[pyo3(get)]
    subsubname: &'static str,
}

#[pymethods]
impl SubSubClass {
    #[new]
    fn new() -> PyClassInitializer<Self> {
        PyClassInitializer::from(BaseClass { basename: "base" })
            .add_subclass(SubClass { subname: "sub" })
            .add_subclass(SubSubClass {
                subsubname: "subsub",
            })
    }
}
Python::with_gil(|py| {
    let typeobj = py.get_type::<SubSubClass>();
    let sub_sub_class = typeobj.call((), None).unwrap();
    py_run!(
        py,
        sub_sub_class,
        r#"
 assert sub_sub_class.basename == 'base'
 assert sub_sub_class.subname == 'sub'
 assert sub_sub_class.subsubname == 'subsub'"#
    );
});

Implementations

impl<T> PyClassInitializer<T>

where T: PyClass,

pub fn new( init: T, super_init: <<T as PyClassImpl>::BaseType as PyClassBaseType>::Initializer, ) -> PyClassInitializer<T>

Constructs a new initializer from value T and base class’ initializer.

It is recommended to use add_subclass instead of this method for most usage.

pub fn add_subclass<S>(self, subclass_value: S) -> PyClassInitializer<S>

where S: PyClass<BaseType = T>, <S as PyClassImpl>::BaseType: PyClassBaseType<Initializer = PyClassInitializer<T>>,

Constructs a new initializer from an initializer for the base class.

Examples

use pyo3::prelude::*;

#[pyclass(subclass)]
struct BaseClass {
    #[pyo3(get)]
    value: i32,
}

impl BaseClass {
    fn new(value: i32) -> PyResult<Self> {
        Ok(Self { value })
    }
}

#[pyclass(extends=BaseClass)]
struct SubClass {}

#[pymethods]
impl SubClass {
    #[new]
    fn new(value: i32) -> PyResult<PyClassInitializer<Self>> {
        let base_init = PyClassInitializer::from(BaseClass::new(value)?);
        Ok(base_init.add_subclass(SubClass {}))
    }
}

fn main() -> PyResult<()> {
    Python::with_gil(|py| {
        let m = PyModule::new(py, "example")?;
        m.add_class::<SubClass>()?;
        m.add_class::<BaseClass>()?;

        let instance = m.getattr("SubClass")?.call1((92,))?;

        // `SubClass` does not have a `value` attribute, but `BaseClass` does.
        let n = instance.getattr("value")?.extract::<i32>()?;
        assert_eq!(n, 92);

        Ok(())
    })
}
