Dyndesign: Merging Classes Dynamically

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

A Python package called dyndesign provides a runtime class merger and cross-class invocation system (modules include class_merger and cross-class invocation), tested on Python 3.8–3.11 and installable via pip with source on GitHub. It dynamically imports class modules by dotted path, merges classes so rightmost attributes override, calls all __init__s with filtered args, and supports dynamic decorators and an invoke_all mode. Demo builds a Collatz sequence tool, adds a ternary variant that peaks ~9,000 for 27, and the merged builder works as shown.
