Method missing in Python

Posted on 2008-08-16 07:44:30

Here is a hacked up attempt of accomplishing Ruby's method missing in Python. While this is not as robust, it does manage to meet my needs.

class Thing(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.__missing_method_name = None # Hack!
    
    def __getattribute__(self, name):
        return object.__getattribute__(self, name)
    
    def __getattr__(self, name):
        self.__missing_method_name = name # Could also be a property
        return getattr(self, '__methodmissing__')

    def __methodmissing__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        print "Missing method %s called (args = %s) and (kwargs = %s)" % (self.__missing_method_name, str(args), str(kwargs))

t = Thing()
t.badness(123, 'an arg', blah="another argument here", zesty="woot")

I would love to learn how to fully mimic Ruby's implementation and would appreciate any pointers.
