Generic programming in Language:Python with SYB

Motivation

This implementation shows generic programming in Language:Python using SYB style. The data model relies on (recursive) data composition alone. Generic Programming simplifies the traversal over nested data. Functions for total and cut are implemented as generic functions, they contain type specific cases for Employees. This simplifies functional style traversing in Python a lot. This library is a port of the haskell version of SYB, but it addresses the same optimisations as those in haskell. For tree modification look at the implementation of cut and the implementation of total illustrates querys on a tree. The library depends on reflection in python to define gmapQ and gmapT.

Illustration

The data model is adapted from Contribution:py3k.

@t(Employee)
def salary(e):
    return e.salary

total = everything(operator.add, 0 |mkQ| salary)

This implementation of total takes the salary of every employee and folds them by adding.

Usage

The python file "101companies.py" requires python2.5-2.7. The output appears on the console.

$ python 101company.py
