New object in python

Hi. Can we add new object to our python program? E.g: a= <'a','b','c'> >>> type(a) output: class UserDefined

There's a way creating an object on the fly, using the type function, for example like this: myobj = type('MyType', (object,), dict(a=1, b=2, c=3))() print(myobj) print(myobj.a) That what you're talking about?

Oh, wait, do you mean, you want to invent a new *literal* for your type? So that, just as you can write... l = [] d = {} s = '' ... you could write this... x = <1, 2, 3> ... and it would become an instance of your own type? That would be similar to operator overload, maybe 'delimiter overload'? Okay, I think we can't do that. That would be quite fancy. 😁

In python you cannot create your own symbols like that. There is some fancy stuff like the matmul operator @ which is used (implemented) exclusively by numpy. You can override it with magic methods same as other operators. But <> cannot be used like this. In some programming languages like Lisp or Haskell you have more freedom to define such symbols.

You can inherit from builtin types, would that do the trick? class MyList(list): ... And then define whatever you want to add or override, everything else remaining just like list.

thank you Sousou and HonFu . But I knew these trick. I just wanted to make a new type of object that can make it simple like lists with another type name.

you just create a new class that’s what class is a blueprint for objects https://www.programiz.com/JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK-programming/class
