ENH: better automatic code generation #155
Description
In the files grblas/_automethods.py and grblas/_infixmethods.py, we have code in the module docstrings that can be run to generate other code that is copy/pasted to other files.
It would be nice if this code generation were automated by e.g. running a Python file instead of error-prone copy/pasting. For example, in Scalar class, we could have:
# Auto-generated from `python generate_automethods.py`: Scalar
_get_value = _automethods._get_value
__array__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__array__)(property(_automethods.__array__))
__bool__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__bool__)(property(_automethods.__bool__))
__complex__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__complex__)(property(_automethods.__complex__))
__eq__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__eq__)(property(_automethods.__eq__))
__float__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__float__)(property(_automethods.__float__))
__index__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__index__)(property(_automethods.__index__))
__int__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__int__)(property(_automethods.__int__))
__invert__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__invert__)(property(_automethods.__invert__))
__neg__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__neg__)(property(_automethods.__neg__))
_name_html = wrapdoc(Scalar._name_html)(property(_automethods._name_html))
_nvals = wrapdoc(Scalar._nvals)(property(_automethods._nvals))
gb_obj = wrapdoc(Scalar.gb_obj)(property(_automethods.gb_obj))
is_empty = wrapdoc(Scalar.is_empty)(property(_automethods.is_empty))
isclose = wrapdoc(Scalar.isclose)(property(_automethods.isclose))
isequal = wrapdoc(Scalar.isequal)(property(_automethods.isequal))
name = wrapdoc(Scalar.name)(property(_automethods.name))
name = name.setter(_automethods._set_name)
nvals = wrapdoc(Scalar.nvals)(property(_automethods.nvals))
to_pygraphblas = wrapdoc(Scalar.to_pygraphblas)(property(_automethods.to_pygraphblas))
value = wrapdoc(Scalar.value)(property(_automethods.value))
wait = wrapdoc(Scalar.wait)(property(_automethods.wait))
# These raise exceptions
__and__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__and__)(Scalar.__and__)
__matmul__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__matmul__)(Scalar.__matmul__)
__or__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__or__)(Scalar.__or__)
__rand__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__rand__)(Scalar.__rand__)
__rmatmul__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__rmatmul__)(Scalar.__rmatmul__)
__ror__ = wrapdoc(Scalar.__ror__)(Scalar.__ror__)
# End auto-generationA low-tech solution could simply read every file, search for "# Auto-generated from... and # End auto-generation, match "Scalar" to know which code to generate, then replace the code within the two comments with the automatically generated code.
Such a solution may be helpful for dask-grblas too.
