python define a group of classes

Question

Like:

class base:
    pass
classes = ["class1", "class2", "class3", "class4"]
for classname in classes:
    class classname(base):
        pass 

I search for dynamic class define, and it's too complicate.

I need an easy solution.

Answer 1

Use type to define dynamic classes:

class base: pass
classNames = ["class1", "class2", "class3", "class4"]
classes = [type(name, (base,), {}) for name in classNames]

Although I agree with arshajii: "There's probably a better way to do whatever you're trying to do.."
