This example shows a class responsible for generating reports. In the constructor, a dictionary data is created, which stores financial and non-financial reports. For non-financial reports, a defaultdict with a template that returns a record structure is used. Then, helper methods are called to fill in the data, and under certain conditions, they are additionally updated.
class GenerateReport:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.data = {
'fin_reports': dict(),
'non_fin_reports': defaultdict(self._non_fin_record_template),
}
self.setup_some_data(*args, **kwargs)
if some_condition:
self.update_some_data(*args, **kwargs)
# several more such method calls
...
def _non_fin_record_template(self):
return {
'sections': [],
'totals': [],
}
def setup_some_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
# make some calculations
# ...
# then set the data
self.data['non_fin_reports']['sections']['section']['sub_section'] = some_data
def update_some_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
# make some calculations
# ...
# then update the data
self.data['non_fin_reports']['sections']['section'] = updated_data
@property
def data(self):
return self._data
# usage example
generate_report(*args, **kwargs)
service = GenerateReport(*args, **kwargs)
return Response(data=service.data)
The description mentions typical issues that may arise in such code: name conflicts between property and attribute, missing import of defaultdict, incorrect access to nested dictionary structures, etc. It is recommended to analyze these points and suggest ways to fix them.
