|
|
A (parent) class using this class as metaclass gains the 'subclasses' class attribute as well as the 'create' and |
14
|
|
|
'register_as_subclass' class methods. |
15
|
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
The 'subclasses' attribute is a python dictionary having string identifiers as keys and subclasses of the (parent) |
17
|
|
|
class as values. |
18
|
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
The 'register_as_subclass' class method can be used as a decorator to indicate that a (child) class should belong in |
20
|
|
|
the parent's class registry. An input string argument will be used as the unique key to register the subclass. |
21
|
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
The 'create' class method can be invoked with a (string) key and suitable constructor arguments to later construct |
23
|
|
|
instances of the corresponding child class. |

|
|
