<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576852 by <a href="/recipes/users/4164396/">Danny G</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/abc/">abc</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/abstract_base_class/">abstract_base_class</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/component/">component</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/interface/">interface</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/plugin/">plugin</a>). Revision 5. </p> <p>My desire was to design a class with defined attributes that when assigned on instances, would expand the instance's functionality. In other words if I create an instance of class A, then assign a 'component' attribute upon that instance, I should be able to call methods of the component object through the original instance. I believe this is somewhat similar to interfaces and abstract base classes (and I read up on both a bit), but I want to rely more on introspection of the object to see what it can do versus confining it to a set interface.</p>

Revision 6. </p> <p>I define a 'Component' as an attribute (typing optional) that instances can assign objects to. Nothing special there, but their usefulness comes in with 'Abilities'. If a class inherits from 'ClassWithAbilities', it will be given a special attribute 'abilities' that will grow/shrink when other classes with abilities are assigned to an instances attributes. It increases/decreases the functionality of the instance depending on what objects are assigned to it. All of these abilities are accessed through the 'abilities' attribute. This is a redesign of <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576852/"><a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576852/">Recipe 576852</a></a>, but I believe is different enough to warrant a new recipe.</p>
