python 'type' - dynamically creating a class

         As you may already know, in python, a class is also an object.

         If you haven't known this, then you can just imagine everything in python is an object until you figure things out.

        Then this deviates the question whose objects  the classes are?  The meta class. And the meta class is also in fact, an object of it self.  Now I'm

So happy i've succeeded complicating everything~~ Forget it.

         You may want to google more about the metaclass which you can get a very good detailed explanation from here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/100003/what-is-a-metaclass-in-python

         Also, you may go on reading my page simply describing how to use a metaclass 'type'. Yes, 'type', the little thing you often use in a commandline for checking the type

of everything is in fact the metaclass for all new classes.

 

         I'll illustrate things by some codes to save time for both of us.

        def hello(sHello):

print sHello

       def createCls(func):

return type('myClass',  (object), {'val1':1, 'val2':2, 'method':func})

       Done with it. Let's try to use it.

      

        tCls = createCts(hello)

      print  tCls.val1

      print tCls.val2

      tCls.method('hello world')

       You should see the result in your terminal.

       BYW, you can also put the whole class creating like this:

           def createCls(func):

 class myClass(object):

                          def __init__(self,  val1, val2):

self.val1 = val1

  self.val2 = val2

                         def method(hello):

print hello

       But this is far from as flexible and easy to use as using type.
