inheritance in NSO python service packages

[yfherzog]

Hi,

Are there any caveats in using inheritance in NSO service packages (particularly python)?

Suppose that I want all my service packages to use a single topology model, and I want to implement some methods for that purpose.

Currently, we're implementing those in one class and having all services import from this class.

The question is whether instead we can have the service inherit from this class and use the methods implemented by the super class?

Any special considerations needed to be taken comparing to inheritance in other python packages (outside of NSO)?

Thanks,

Yftach

Not AFAIK, as long as you get the search paths between the packages correct, which I assume you already have, you should be good.

Yes, many NSO python packages use class hierarchies and inheritance.

Thank you both for the prompt answers!
