AutoRegistry

Invoking functions and class-constructors from a string is a common design pattern that AutoRegistry aims to solve. For example, a user might specify a backend of type "sqlite" in a yaml configuration file, for which our program needs to construct the SQLite subclass of our Database class. Classically, you would need to manually create a lookup, mapping the string "sqlite" to the SQLite constructor. With AutoRegistry, the lookup is automatically created for you.

AutoRegistry has a single powerful class Registry that can do the following:

• Be inherited to automatically register subclasses by their name.

• Be directly invoked my_registry = Registry() to create a decorator for registering callables like functions.

• Traverse and automatically create registries for other python libraries.
