[jira] Commented: (MODPYTHON-16) Publisher : classes could be published

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-16?page=comments#action_58273 ]
     
Graham Dumpleton commented on MODPYTHON-16:
-------------------------------------------

Doing this would require a special case check. At the moment the fact that a class is callable takes precedence and so all it does is create the object. To be able to convert that then back to a string requires an extra step.

>          Key: MODPYTHON-16
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-16
>      Project: mod_python
>         Type: Improvement
>     Versions: 3.1.3
>     Reporter: Nicolas Lehuen
>     Priority: Minor

> Suppose this in a published Module :
> class index(object):
>     def __init__(self,req,name):
>         self.buffer ='<html><body><p>Hello, %s !</p></body></html>'%name
>     
>     def __str__(self):
>         return self.buffer
> The publisher could notice that the index object is in fact a class, instantiate it and write the result of a str() conversion to the client.
> Why should we do this ?
> 1) we can ;)
> 2) this could be done by a class definition + a index function which does the job, but this way, we save a function definition.
