+--- Thread: how can I changing a base class method (/thread-22374.html)
how can I changing a base class method - voidptr - Nov-10-2019
Is there some ways to change methods from a base class ?
here an example, I want to change the behavior of extendleft
form deque.
yes I can create a subclass, but I need to rewrite all code that
use deque to Xdeque instead.
Is there a way to change that method instead in the base class ?
from collections import deque
class Xdeque(deque):
def extendleft(self,items):
return super().extendleft(reversed(items))
d = Xdeque()
d.extend((4,5,6,7))
d.extendleft((1,2,3))
print(d)

I don't believe you can. And if you can, it's would be a bad idea.

Thanks for this awesome answer !
I agree with you , it is a bad idea, in fact programming in general is a bad idea !
