Developing a code generator library

In this section, let’s look at developing a code generator that will be used to generate code for all the base classes – CarSpecs, CarMake, CarCatalogue, BodyStyle, and SaleType. The detailed steps are as follows:

1. Let’s create a file named codegenerator.py and start by defining a class named CodeGenerator:

   class CodeGenerator:

2. Let’s define a method that imports the ast library and adds a meta_template attribute that has the string format of the CarSpecs class as a value. The meta_template attribute is further parsed and unparsed into class code:

   def generate_meta(self):
           ast = __import__('ast')
           meta_template = '''
   from abc import ABC, abstractmethod, ABCMeta
   class CarSpecs(type, metaclass = ABCMeta):
       def __new__(classitself, classname, baseclasses, attributes): ...
