Python reverse (again)

[abierbaum]

I was evaluating EA quite a while back and posted a question about python reverse engineering.  

http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1170780589/0#0

The summary is that I wanted to be able to reverse engineer attributes and was proposing that they could be stored in the class comment in javadoc style.  It looks like this is not going to work out.

So, the question still remains though, how do people handle reverse engineering attributes with Python?  Is the only way to do this to put the attributes as class attributes instead of object attributes?  I am willing to extend, refine, refactor generator scripts or anything else, I just want to find a way to make this work that will be compatible with our coding standards (ie. no class attributes)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Allen

My post to that thread is still accurate.  The reverse engineering cannot be modified to handle python object attributes.

Is it possible for users to create custom code generators and reverse generators?  Or more specifically, if we really wanted to support Python for our specific needs, is it possible for us to extend EA to meet this need?

A custom generator (without synchronization) is no problem.  You can generate anything you like from the code templates.

Reverse engineering is currently not open to user modification.

Reverse engineering is currently not open to user modification.

But of course you can write an AddIn which parses code and creates or synchronizes classes.
