Clone and Expando class object in Python for App Engine
What is a good way to clone (make a copy of) an Expando class object when using Python on Google App Engine?
I came across some code on here, but unless I'm mistaken, it does not work on expando properties开发者_Python百科: Copy an entity in Google App Engine datastore in Python without knowing property names at 'compile' time
Thanks!
Here's a revised version of Nick's function that includes dynamic properties:
def clone_entity(e, **extra_args):
"""Clones an entity, adding or overriding constructor attributes.
The cloned entity will have exactly the same property values as the original
entity, except where overridden. By default it will have no parent entity or
key name, unless supplied.
Args:
e: The entity to clone
extra_args: Keyword arguments to override from the cloned entity and pass
to the constructor.
Returns:
A cloned, possibly modified, copy of entity e.
"""
klass = e.__class__
props = dict((k, v.__get__(e, klass)) for k, v in klass.properties().iteritems())
props.update(dict([(k, getattr(e, k)) for k in e.dynamic_properties()]))
props.update(extra_args)
return klass(**props)
