Dynamic Classes
Explore dynamic class creation with the type function in Python, allowing you to define classes programmatically. Understand how to set class names, inheritance, and namespaces dynamically. Discover how to add methods and attributes even complex ones, and learn the role of custom metaclasses in modifying class behavior for advanced metaprogramming.
We'll cover the following...
Custom metaclasses can modify classes by performing further actions or adding code. Usually, we do not require custom metaclasses, but sometimes they are necessary.
Dynamic creation of a class
In the previous lesson, we examined the types of different objects by passing a single argument to the type() function. That’s certainly not the end; this function can do much more. We can also create the classes using the type() function. Isn’t this amazing?
We can also call type() with three arguments:
