ensure classes have an __init__ method

Metadata

ID: python-best-practices/init-method-required

Language: Python

Severity: Notice

Category: Best Practices

Description

Ensure that a class has an __init__ method. This check is bypassed when the class is a data class (annotated with @dataclass).

Non-Compliant Code Examples

class Foo:  # need to define __init__
	def foo(bar):
		pass
	def bar(baz):
		pass

Compliant Code Examples

# dataclass do not require an init class
@dataclass
class Requests:
    cpu: float  # expressed in cpu cores
    memory: int  # expressed in bytes

    @staticmethod
    def from_pod(pod: V1Pod):
        cpu = 0.0
        memory = 0

        for container in pod.spec.containers:
            cpu += parse_cpu_string(container.resources.requests["cpu"])
            memory += parse_memory_string(container.resources.requests["memory"])

        return Requests(cpu, memory)

    def add(self, other):
        self.cpu += other.cpu
        self.memory += other.memory


@frozen
class AnotherClass:
    cpu: float
    memory: int
    def add(self, other):
        self.cpu += other.cpu
        self.memory += other.memory
class Child(Parent):
  def fn():
      pass

class AnotherChild(modname.Parent):
  def another_fn():
    pass
class UserLoginTest(TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.username = 'testuser'
        self.password = 'testpassword'
        self.user = User.objects.create_user(username=self.username, password=self.password)

    def test_correct_credentials(self):
        user = authenticate(username=self.username, password=self.password)
        self.assertIsNotNone(user)
        self.assertEqual(user, self.user)

    def test_incorrect_credentials(self):
        user = authenticate(username=self.username, password='wrongpassword')
        self.assertIsNone(user)
