function - Can create a def in python class which can be called what ever the def name even if the def didn't exist -

i'm looking this:

class myclass(object):     def ****(self):         print self.__name __  myclass.test() ->test  myclass.whatever() ->whatever 

so can call method , prints name.

implement __getattr__() method on class intercept access attempts on unknown attributes, , return function (which bind class):

class myclass(object):     def __getattr__(self, name):         def echo():             return name         return echo 

this returns unbound functions, no reference instance.

you need create instance first work:

>>> class myclass(object): ...     def __getattr__(self, name): ...         def echo(): ...             return name ...         return echo ...  >>> instance = myclass() >>> instance.test() 'test' >>> instance.whatever() 'whatever' 

you can bind function instance (so gets self passed in) manually invoking descriptor protocol, calling __get__ on function before returning:

class myclass(object):     def __getattr__(self, name):         def echo(self):             return '{}.{}'.format(type(self).__name__, name)         return echo.__get__(self, type(self)) 

with access self can print little more information:

>>> class myclass(object): ...     def __getattr__(self, name): ...         def echo(self): ...             return '{}.{}'.format(type(self).__name__, name) ...         return echo.__get__(self, type(self)) ...  >>> instance = myclass() >>> instance.test() 'myclass.test' >>> instance.whatever() 'myclass.whatever'
