classmethod config_cls()#: The BaseRunConfig class associated with this class.

attributes()#

Returns a list of class attributes to be serialized.

This method is called internally by serialize() to determine the class attributes to serialize.

Subclasses can override this method, but, by default, all attributes in vars(self) are returned, minus private attributes, i.e., those starting with “_”. The order of the attributes in this list is preserved when serializing objects, so a common pattern is for subclasses to override this method if they want their JSON files to be organized in a particular way.

Returns:: a list of class attributes to be serialized

classmethod builder()#: Returns a ConfigBuilder instance for this class.

copy()#

Returns a deep copy of the object.

Returns:: a Serializable instance

custom_attributes(dynamic=False, private=False)#

Returns a customizable list of class attributes.

By default, all attributes in vars(self) are returned, minus private attributes (those starting with “_”).

Parameters:

dynamic – whether to include dynamic properties, e.g., those defined by getter/setter methods or the @property decorator. By default, this is False
private – whether to include private properties, i.e., those starting with “_”. By default, this is False

Returns:

a list of class attributes

classmethod default()#

Returns the default config instance.

By default, this method instantiates the class from an empty dictionary, which will only succeed if all attributes are optional. Otherwise, subclasses should override this method to provide the desired default configuration.

classmethod from_dict(d)#

Constructs a Config object from a JSON dictionary.

Config subclass constructors accept JSON dictionaries, so this method simply passes the dictionary to cls().

Parameters:: d – a dict of fields expected by cls
Returns:: an instance of cls

classmethod from_json(path, *args, **kwargs)#

Constructs a Serializable object from a JSON file.

Subclasses may override this method, but, by default, this method simply reads the JSON and calls from_dict(), which subclasses must implement.

Parameters:

path – the path to the JSON file on disk
*args – optional positional arguments for self.from_dict()
**kwargs – optional keyword arguments for self.from_dict()

Returns:

an instance of the Serializable class

classmethod from_kwargs(**kwargs)#

Constructs a Config object from keyword arguments.

Parameters:: **kwargs – keyword arguments that define the fields expected by cls
Returns:: an instance of cls

classmethod from_str(s, *args, **kwargs)#

Constructs a Serializable object from a JSON string.

Subclasses may override this method, but, by default, this method simply parses the string and calls from_dict(), which subclasses must implement.

Parameters:

s – a JSON string representation of a Serializable object
*args – optional positional arguments for self.from_dict()
**kwargs – optional keyword arguments for self.from_dict()

Returns:

an instance of the Serializable class
