For example,
class C:
def m1(self, arg):
require arg > 0
return whatever
ensure Result > arg
can be written (clumsily, I agree) as:
class C(Eiffel):
def m1(self, arg):
return whatever
def m1_pre(self, arg):
assert arg > 0
def m1_post(self, Result, arg):
assert Result > arg
Pre- and post-conditions for a method, being implemented as methods
themselves, are inherited independently from the method. This gives
much of the same effect of Eiffel, where pre- and post-conditions are
inherited when a method is overridden by a derived class. However,
when a derived class in Python needs to extend a pre- or
post-condition, it must manually merge the base class' pre- or
post-condition with that defined in the derived class', for example:
class D(C):
def m1(self, arg):
return arg**2
def m1_post(self, Result, arg):
C.m1_post(self, Result, arg)
assert Result < 100
This gives derived classes more freedom but also more responsibility
than in Eiffel, where the compiler automatically takes care of this.
In Eiffel, pre-conditions combine using contravariance, meaning a
derived class can only make a pre-condition weaker; in Python, this is
up to the derived class. For example, a derived class that takes away
the requirement that arg > 0 could write:
def m1_pre(self, arg):
pass
but one could equally write a derived class that makes a stronger
requirement:
def m1_pre(self, arg):
require arg > 50
It would be easy to modify the classes shown here so that pre- and
post-conditions can be disabled (separately, on a per-class basis).
A different design would have the pre- or post-condition testing
functions return true for success and false for failure. This would
make it possible to implement automatic combination of inherited
and new pre-/post-conditions. All this is left as an exercise to the
reader.
