Re: Django models, encapsulation and data integrity - DabApps, Brighton, UK

Hey Tom, super helpful article and still relevant (over 5 years after publish date).

A quick question, why do we have two instances of signup operation? i.e - Account model's signup method and AccountManager's create_signup method. This seems like code/logic duplication.

Is there something wrong/antipattern in using say Account manager's create_signup in Account model's signup using something like self.objects.create_signup or vice versa (Using account model's signup method in account manager's create_signup)?

Or taking a step back, what if we have the signup operation at just one place (Say in AccountManager) and always use that to perform the signup operation at all places?

Thanks

In this paragraph

This is probably just as well. type is the metaclass from which all new-style classes are derived. You really shouldn’t be mucking around with it anyway. But then what recourse is there, if you want to customize instantiation of a class?

You probably meant:

if you want to customize the creation of a class?

as we already customized the instantiation of a class by modifying that class's __new__() attribute as we did in the previous example with class Foo by setting its Foo.__new__

In this paragraph

Suppose you wanted to similarly customize instantiation behavior when creating a class like Foo. If you were to follow the pattern above, you’d again define a custom method and assign it as the __new__() method for the class of which Foo is an instance. Foo is an instance of the type metaclass, so the code looks something like this:

It might be helpful to bold the words

when creating a class like Foo

to highlight the difference in this flow as compared to the previous paragraph where we were modifying the instantiation behavior of class Foo

Re: Implementing an Interface in Python

class PdfParserNew: """Extract text from a PDF.""" def load_data_source(self, path: str, file_name: str) -> str: """overrides InformalParserInterface.load_data_source""" pass def extract_text(self, full_file_path: str) -> dict: """Overrides InformalParserInterface.extract_text""" pass

In this definition of `PdfParserNew`, how do we determine `UpdatedInformalParserInterface` is a superclass of PdfParserNew?

Is it simply by the fact that `PdfParserNew` implements methods with same name as defined in `UpdatedInformalParserInterface`?

Re: Understanding the Python Mock Object Library

DeepS — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 08:55:19 -0000

In the code snippet:
@patch('my_calendar.requests')
def test_get_holidays_timeout(self, mock_requests):
mock_requests.get.side_effect = Timeout
with self.assertRaises(Timeout):
get_holidays()
mock_requests.get.assert_called_once()

`mock_requests.get.assert_called_once()` should be indented to be outside of with block right? Since get_holidays() is expected to raise Timeout exception, the mock_requests.get.assert_called_once would never be executed if its inside the with block.

I tried following to confirm:
@patch('my_calendar.requests')
def test_get_holidays_timeout(self, mock_requests):
mock_requests.get.side_effect = Timeout
with self.assertRaises(Timeout):
get_holidays()
get_holidays()
mock_requests.get.assert_called_once()

It still passed since after first call to get_holidays(), Timeout exception is raised and the self.assertRaises passes and exits. Is that correct understanding?

Under Section:
"And now for something completely different..."

When you say:
"Assigning foo to that object merely says....."
Shouldn't that actually be:
"Assigning that object to foo merely says....."
As we are actually assigning the object created by Foo() to foo here and not the other way around.

Your articles are awesome, really appreciate your way of writing, just a small note: In some cases the examples are quite complex and often either take too much time to understand or I completely fail to understand them and tend to give up with a plan to return back to it at a later time.
