cogwheel.utils.InitDictMixin

class cogwheel.utils.InitDictMixin

Bases: object

Provide methods get_init_dict and reinstantiate.

Methods

get_init_dict	Return dictionary with keyword arguments to __init__.
get_module_name	Name of the module that defines the instance's class.
reinstantiate	Return a new instance of the class, possibly updating init_kwargs.

get_init_dict(**kwargs)

Return dictionary with keyword arguments to __init__.

Only works if the class stores its init parameters as attributes with the same names. Otherwise, the subclass should override this method.

Parameters:

**kwargs

Allows to manually override some keys. The remaining ones will be read from the instance’s attributes. All keywords must be in the __init__ signature. It’s mostly here to facilitate overriding by subclasses.

get_module_name()

Name of the module that defines the instance’s class.

reinstantiate(**new_init_kwargs)

Return a new instance of the class, possibly updating init_kwargs.

Values not passed will be taken from the current instance.
