Decorators

Miscellaneous decorators used throughout the library.

Functions

typecheck(func_=None, **types)

Decorator to enforce type checking for a function or method. There are two ways to call this: either explicitly passing argument types to the decorator, or letting it infer them using type annotations in the function that will be decorated. We allow both usage methods since older versions of Python lack type annotations, and also because I feel the annotation syntax can hurt readability.

Ported from htools to avoid extra dependency.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
func_	function	The function to decorate. When using decorator with manually-specified types, this is None. Underscore is used so that func can still be used as a valid keyword argument for the wrapped function.	None
types	type	Optional way to specify variable types. Use standard types rather than importing from the typing library, as subscripted generics are not supported (e.g. typing.List[str] will not work; typing.List will but at that point there is no benefit over the standard list).	{}

Examples:

In the first example, we specify types directly in the decorator. Notice that they can be single types or tuples of types. You can choose to specify types for all arguments or just a subset.

@typecheck(x=float, y=(int, float), iters=int, verbose=bool)
def process(x, y, z, iters=5, verbose=True):
    print(f'z = {z}')
    for i in range(iters):
        if verbose: print(f'Iteration {i}...')
        x *= y
    return x

>>> process(3.1, 4.5, 0, 2.0)
TypeError: iters must be <class 'int'>, not <class 'float'>.

>>> process(3.1, 4, 'a', 1, False)
z = a
12.4

Alternatively, you can let the decorator infer types using annotations in the function that is to be decorated. The example below behaves equivalently to the explicit example shown above. Note that annotations regarding the returned value are ignored.

@typecheck
def process(x:float, y:(int, float), z, iters:int=5, verbose:bool=True):
    print(f'z = {z}')
    for i in range(iters):
        if verbose: print(f'Iteration {i}...')
        x *= y
    return x

>>> process(3.1, 4.5, 0, 2.0)
TypeError: iters must be <class 'int'>, not <class 'float'>.

>>> process(3.1, 4, 'a', 1, False)
z = a
12.4

add_kwargs(func, fields, hide_fields=(), strict=False)

Decorator that adds parameters into the signature and docstring of a function that accepts **kwargs.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
func	function	Function to decorate.	required
fields	list[str]	Names of params to insert into signature + docstring.	required
hide_fields	list[str]	Names of params that are already in the function's signature that we want to hide. To use a non-empty value here, we must set strict=True and the param must have a default value, as this is what will be used in all subsequent calls.	()
strict	bool	If true, we do two things: 1. On decorated function call, check that the user provided all expected arguments. 2. Enable the use of the hide_fields param.	False

Returns:

store_class_defaults(cls=None, attr_filter=None)

Class decorator that stores default values of class attributes (can be all or a subset). Default here refers to the value at class definition time. Mutable defaults should be okay since we deepcopy them, but are probably still riskier to use than immutable defaults.

Examples:

@store_class_defaults(attr_filter=lambda x: x.startswith('last_'))
class Foo:
    last_bar = 3
    last_baz = 'abc'
    other = True

>>> Foo._class_defaults

{'last_bar': 3, 'last_baz': 'abc'}

Or use the decorator without parentheses to store all values at definition time. This is usually unnecessary. If you do provide an attr_filter, it must be a named argument.

Foo.reset_class_vars() will reset all relevant class vars to their default values.
