Lab 5.1 – Generating docstrings with OpenAI API
In this lab, we will utilize OpenAI API to generate a docstring for the __call__ method in a Singleton design pattern, as outlined in the following steps. The __call__ method defines the instantiation process, which involves creating or managing a new instance of the class.
Singleton design pattern
As Python developers, we often use design patterns to define and control the behavior of Python objects, such as functions and classes. One such pattern is the Singleton pattern, which ensures that only one instance of a class is created and used throughout the program’s execution.
Regular classes create a new instance from scratch with each instantiation, using either provided arguments or default parameters. For example, consider the following program with an Environment class that defaults to the name Production:
class Environment:
def __init__(self, name: str = "Production"):
self.name...
