Jython is an implementation of the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented
language Python written in 100% Pure Java, and seamlessly integrated with
the Java platform. It thus allows you to run Python on any Java platform.
# This contains most of the executable examples from Guido's descr
# tutorial, once at
#
# http://www.python.org/2.2/descrintro.html
#
# A few examples left implicit in the writeup were fleshed out, a few were
# skipped due to lack of interest (e.g., faking super() by hand isn't
# of much interest anymore), and a few were fiddled to make the output
# deterministic.

Here's the new type at work:
>>> print defaultdict # show our type
>>> print type(defaultdict) # its metatype
>>> a = defaultdict(default=0.0) # create an instance
>>> print a # show the instance
{}
>>> print type(a) # show its type
>>> print a.__class__ # show its class
>>> print type(a) is a.__class__ # its type is its class
True
>>> a[1] = 3.25 # modify the instance
>>> print a # show the new value
{1: 3.25}
>>> print a[1] # show the new item
3.25
>>> print a[0] # a non-existant item
0.0
>>> a.merge({1:100, 2:200}) # use a dict method
>>> print sortdict(a) # show the result
{1: 3.25, 2: 200}
>>>
We can also use the new type in contexts where classic only allows "real"
dictionaries, such as the locals/globals dictionaries for the exec
statement or the built-in function eval():
>>> def sorted(seq):
... seq.sort()
... return seq
>>> print sorted(a.keys())
[1, 2]
>>> exec "x = 3; print x" in a
3
>>> print sorted(a.keys())
[1, 2, 'x']
>>> print a['x']
3
>>>
Now I'll show that defaultdict instances have dynamic instance variables,
just like classic classes:
>>> a.default = -1
>>> print a["noway"]
-1
>>> a.default = -1000
>>> print a["noway"]
-1000
>>> 'default' in dir(a)
True
>>> a.x1 = 100
>>> a.x2 = 200
>>> print a.x1
100
>>> d = dir(a)
>>> 'default' in d and 'x1' in d and 'x2' in d
True
>>> print sortdict(a.__dict__)
{'default': -1000, 'x1': 100, 'x2': 200}
>>>

Introspecting instances of built-in types
For instance of built-in types, x.__class__ is now the same as type(x):
>>> type([])
>>> [].__class__
>>> list
>>> isinstance([], list)
True
>>> isinstance([], dict)
False
>>> isinstance([], object)
True
>>>
Under the new proposal, the __methods__ attribute no longer exists:
>>> [].__methods__
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute '__methods__'
>>>
Instead, you can get the same information from the list type:
>>> pprint.pprint(dir(list)) # like list.__dict__.keys(), but sorted
['__add__',
'__class__',
'__contains__',
'__delattr__',
'__delitem__',
'__delslice__',
'__doc__',
'__eq__',
'__ge__',

'__getitem__',

'__gt__',
'__hash__',
'__iadd__',
'__imul__',
'__init__',
'__iter__',
'__le__',
'__len__',
'__lt__',
'__mul__',
'__ne__',
'__new__',
'__radd__',

'__setitem__',
'__setslice__',
'__str__',
'append',
'count',
'extend',
'index',
'insert',
'pop',
'remove',
'reverse',
'sort']
The new introspection API gives more information than the old one: in
addition to the regular methods, it also shows the methods that are
normally invoked through special notations, e.g. __iadd__ (+=), __len__
(len), __ne__ (!=). You can invoke any method from this list directly:
>>> a = ['tic', 'tac']
>>> list.__len__(a) # same as len(a)
2
>>> a.__len__() # ditto
2
>>> list.append(a, 'toe') # same as a.append('toe')
>>> a
['tic', 'tac', 'toe']
>>>
This is just like it is for user-defined classes.

Static methods and class methods
The new introspection API makes it possible to add static methods and class
methods. Static methods are easy to describe: they behave pretty much like
static methods in C++ or Java. Here's an example:
>>> class C:
...
... @staticmethod
... def foo(x, y):
... print "staticmethod", x, y
>>> C.foo(1, 2)
staticmethod 1 2
>>> c = C()
>>> c.foo(1, 2)
staticmethod 1 2
Class methods use a similar pattern to declare methods that receive an
implicit first argument that is the *class* for which they are invoked.
>>> class C:
... @classmethod
... def foo(cls, y):
... print "classmethod", cls, y
>>> C.foo(1)
classmethod test.test_descrtut.C 1
>>> c = C()
>>> c.foo(1)
classmethod test.test_descrtut.C 1
>>> class D(C):
... pass
>>> D.foo(1)
classmethod test.test_descrtut.D 1
>>> d = D()
>>> d.foo(1)
classmethod test.test_descrtut.D 1
This prints "classmethod __main__.D 1" both times; in other words, the
class passed as the first argument of foo() is the class involved in the
call, not the class involved in the definition of foo().
But notice this:
>>> class E(C):
... @classmethod
... def foo(cls, y): # override C.foo
... print "E.foo() called"
... C.foo(y)
>>> E.foo(1)
E.foo() called
classmethod test.test_descrtut.C 1
>>> e = E()
>>> e.foo(1)
E.foo() called
classmethod test.test_descrtut.C 1
In this example, the call to C.foo() from E.foo() will see class C as its
first argument, not class E. This is to be expected, since the call
specifies the class C. But it stresses the difference between these class
methods and methods defined in metaclasses (where an upcall to a metamethod
would pass the target class as an explicit first argument).

Attributes defined by get/set methods
>>> class property(object):
...
... def __init__(self, get, set=None):
... self.__get = get
... self.__set = set
...
... def __get__(self, inst, type=None):
... return self.__get(inst)
...
... def __set__(self, inst, value):
... if self.__set is None:
... raise AttributeError, "this attribute is read-only"
... return self.__set(inst, value)
Now let's define a class with an attribute x defined by a pair of methods,
getx() and and setx():
>>> class C(object):
...
... def __init__(self):
... self.__x = 0
...
... def getx(self):
... return self.__x
...
... def setx(self, x):
... if x < 0: x = 0
... self.__x = x
...
... x = property(getx, setx)
Here's a small demonstration:
>>> a = C()
>>> a.x = 10
>>> print a.x
10
>>> a.x = -10
>>> print a.x
0
>>>
Hmm -- property is builtin now, so let's try it that way too.
>>> del property # unmask the builtin
>>> property
>>> class C(object):
... def __init__(self):
... self.__x = 0
... def getx(self):
... return self.__x
... def setx(self, x):
... if x < 0: x = 0
... self.__x = x
... x = property(getx, setx)

>>> a.x = 10
>>> print a.x
10
