Python Dependency Injection Framework

Question

Is there a framework equivalent to Guice (http://code.google.com/p/google-guice) for Python?

Answer 1

Here is a small example for a dependency injection container that does constructor injection based on the constructor argument names:

Answer 2

Besides that:

1. Zope component architekture
2. pyContainer

Answer 3

If you just want to do dependency injection in Python, you don't need a framework. Have a look at Dependency Injection the Python Way. It's really quick and easy, and only c. 50 lines of code.

Answer 4

I haven't used it, but the Spring Python framework is based on Spring and implements Inversion of Control.

There also appears to be a Guice in Python project: snake-guice

Answer 5

As an alternative to monkeypatching, I like DI. A nascent project such as http://code.google.com/p/snake-guice/ may fit the bill.

Or see the blog post Dependency Injection in Python by Dennis Kempin (Aug '08).

Answer 6

There's dyject (http://dyject.com), a lightweight framework for both Python 2 and Python 3 that uses the built-in ConfigParser
