Currently, I have a diagnostic class implemented as a @dataclass in Python. This class includes a method that corresponds to the level of the diagnostic message (e.g., info, warning, error), along with an enumeration named Level:
@dataclass
class Diagnostic:
#instance variables bc dataclass
severity: Level
message: str
start: Tuple[int, int]
end: Tuple[int, int]
class Level(enum.IntEnum):
info = 0
error = 1
warning = 2
#....
@classmethod
def create(...)
#....
@classmethod
def info(...)
#....
@classmethod
def warning(...)
#....
@classmethod
def error(...)
#....
To enhance this setup, I aim to create separate classes for each type of diagnostic message. After some thought, I devised a new structure where Diagnostic_Error, Diagnostic_Info, and Diagnostic_Warning act as subclasses of the Diagnostic class which is no longer a dataclass:
class Diagnostic:
# instance properties
__slots__ = ("message", "start", "end")
def __init__(
self, message: str, start: Tuple[int, int], end: Tuple[int, int]
) -> None:
self.message = message
self.start = start
self.end = end
class Level(enum.IntEnum):
info = 0
error = 1
warning = 2
# potentially redundant?
@classmethod
def from_docutils(cls, docutils_level: int) -> "Diagnostic.Level":
level = docutils_level - 1
level = min(level, cls.warning)
level = max(level, cls.info)
return cls(level)
class Diagnostic_Info(Diagnostic):
severity: Diagnostic.Level = Level.info
class Diagnostic_Warning(Diagnostic):
severity: Diagnostic.Level = Level.warning
class Diagnostic_Error(Diagnostic):
severity: Diagnostic.Level = Level.error
However, I encounter an issue where it states Name 'Level' is not defined.
How can I access the parent's enumeration from the child class? Specifically, how do I access the Level enum from Diagnostic_Error, Diagnostic_Info, and Diagnostic_Warning?
