python - Why is issubclass(dict, collections.Mapping) true in CPython? -


in cpython following 

import collections issubclass(dict, collections.mapping)

returns true. confuses me bit, since dict builtin class defined in ctypes , collections module explicitly relies on existence of dict accomplish of functionality. other straightforward inheritance checks must going on , can't figure out why works. below provide of reasoning leads confusion.

if @ inheritance structure of collections.mapping see inherits collection. collection's signature shows inherits sized, iterable, container of inherit metaclass abcmeta.

but dict builtin, thought meant being defined directly ctype thought meant wouldn't inheriting anything.

so, why issubclass(dict, collections.mapping) → true?

for more context why came see this nbformat issue, in in attempting recreate signature & functionality of dict's update need know how issubclass(foo, mapping) behave.

that's because metaclasses can customize issubclass , isinstance return. in case of mutablemapping done via abc.abcmeta, allows register "virtual subclasses".

for example:

from collections import mutablemapping  class a(object): pass mutablemapping.register(a) issubclass(a, mutablemapping)  # true

it works subclasses of registered subclasses:

class b(object): pass class c(b): pass mutablemapping.register(b) issubclass(c, mutablemapping)  # true

the same happens dict. though it's not real subclass of mutablemapping it's still virtual subclass. second example shows means "real" subclasses of dict "virtual" subclasses of mutablemapping.

note simpler abcs implement subclass checks based on presence of methods. example collections.sized checks if class has __len__:

from collections import sized  class d(object):     def __len__(self):         return 1  issubclass(d, sized)   # true

so without explicit register d recognized valid subclass of sized.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj...

What is happening when Matlab is starting a "parallel pool"? -

running parallel cpu processes in matlab starts command parpool() according documentation , function: [creates] special job on pool of workers, , [connects] matlab client parallel pool. this function takes bit of time execute, on order of 30 seconds. in other multi-cpu paradigms openmp, parallel execution seems totally transparent -- i've never noticed behavior analogous matlab (granted i'm not experienced parallel programming). so, happening between time parpool() called , when finishes executing? takes long? parallel computing toolbox enables run matlab code in parallel using several different paradigms (e.g. jobs , tasks, parfor , spmd , parfeval , batch processing), , run either locally (parallelised across cores in local machine) or remotely (parallelised across machines in cluster - either 1 own, or 1 in cloud). in of these cases, code run on matlab workers , copies of matlab without interactive desktop. if you're intending run on remo...
