◆ continueClass()

def lsst.utils.wrappers.continueClass ( cls )

Re-open the decorated class, adding any new definitions into the original.

For example::

.. code-block:: python

    class Foo:
        pass

    @continueClass
    class Foo:
        def run(self):
            return None

is equivalent to::

.. code-block:: python

    class Foo:
        def run(self):
            return None

.. warning::

    Python's built-in `super` function does not behave properly in classes
    decorated with `continueClass`.  Base class methods must be invoked
    directly using their explicit types instead.

◆ inClass()

def lsst.utils.wrappers.inClass	(	cls,
		name = `None`
	)

Add the decorated function to the given class as a method.

For example::

.. code-block:: python

    class Foo:
        pass

    @inClass(Foo)
    def run(self):
        return None

is equivalent to::

.. code-block:: python

    class Foo:
        def run(self):
            return None

Standard decorators like ``classmethod``, ``staticmethod``, and
``property`` may be used *after* this decorator.  Custom decorators
may only be used if they return an object with a ``__name__`` attribute
or the ``name`` optional argument is provided.

◆ isAttributeSafeToTransfer()

def lsst.utils.wrappers.isAttributeSafeToTransfer	(	name,

	)

Return True if an attribute is safe to monkeypatch-transfer to another
class.

This rejects special methods that are defined automatically for all
classes, leaving only those explicitly defined in a class decorated by
`continueClass` or registered with an instance of `TemplateMeta`.
