I am attempting to achieve a form of namespace-like behavior in a single Python file. I am considering using nested classes and class redefinition. I am aware that this approach might have issues, but I would like to understand whether this method could be considered feasible. Please note that I am constrained to writing all the code within a single Python file. Additionally, I am wondering if I should take into account naming conventions from the C language. Here is a reference code snippet to illustrate my approach:
class NAMESPACE:
a = 1
class NAMESPACEBaseException(Exception):
...
class NAMESPACEApiHttpException(SMTHBaseException):
...
print(a)
class NAMESPACE(NAMESPACE):
@staticmethod
def slist(uid, key):
...
print(NAMESPACE.a)
try:
raise NAMESPACE.NAMESPACEApiHttpException("raise NAMESPACE.NAMESPACEApiHttpException")
except NAMESPACE.NAMESPACEApiHttpException as e:
print(e)
print(SMTH.slist(0, 0))
finally:
del NAMESPACE
I read these: is-it-a-good-idea-to-using-class-as-a-namespace-in-python
Would using this approach have any potential pitfalls or drawbacks? Can I use C language's naming conventions as a reference for structuring my classes in this manner? Are there any alternatives I should consider for achieving a similar namespace-like behavior while keeping all the code in a single Python file?
