AttributeMap is a data class that is also a mapping, converting a dict
into an object with attributes. Example:
>>> amap = AttributeDict(attributes={'foo': True, 'bar': False})
>>> amap.foo
True
>>> amap.bar
False
Instantiating an AttributeMap using the from_dict() class method will
recursively transform dictionary members sinto AttributeMaps:
>>> nested_dict = {'foo': {'bar': {'baz': True}, 'boz': False}}
>>> amap = AttributeDict.from_dict(nested_dict)
>>> amap.foo.bar.baz
True
>>> amap.foo.boz
False
The dictionary can be accessed directly via 'attributes':
>>> amap = AttributeDict(attributes={'foo': True, 'bar': False})
>>> list(amap.attributes.keys()):
>>>['foo', 'bar']
Because AttributeMap is a mapping, you can use it anywhere you would use
a regular mapping, like a dict:
>>> amap = AttributeDict(attributes={'foo': True, 'bar': False})
>>> 'foo' in amap
True
>>> "{foo}, {bar}".format(**amap)

class Item(AttributeMap):
"""
Item is the base class for items, weapons, and spells, and is intended to
be subclassed to define those things. Item extends AttributeMap to provide
some helper methods, including the name and description properties.o
Creating Items
To create an Item, call Item.from_dict() with a dictionary as you would an
AttributeMap. But unlike the base method, Item.from_dict() processes the
values of the dictionary and formats any template strings it encounters,
including templates which reference its own attributes. A simple example:
>>> properties = dict(
? name='{length}ft. pole',
? weight='7lbs.',
? value=5,
? length=10
? )
>>> ten_foot_pole = Item.from_dict(properties)
>>> ten_foot_pole.name
10ft. Pole
Note that the name value includes a template that refers to the length
property. This reference is resolved when the Item instance is created.
Properties Are Special
The 'properties' attribute has special meaning for Items; it is the mapping
of the item's in-game properties. For weapons, this includes standard
properties such as 'light', 'finesse', 'thrown', and so on, but they can be
anything you like. Item.properties is also unique in that its members'
templates can contain references to other attributes of the Item. For
example:
>>> properties = dict(
? name='{length}ft. pole',
? length=10,
? properties=dict(
? 'engraved'=dict(
? description='"Property of {info.owner}!"'
? ),
? ),
? info=dict(
? owner='Jules Ultardottir',
? )
? )
>>> ten_foot_pole = Item.from_dict(properties)
>>> ten_foot_pole.description
Engraved. "Property of Jules Ultardottir!"
Overriding Attributes with Properties
Properties can also override existing item attributes. Any key in the
properties dict of the form 'override_<attribute>' will replace the value
of <attribute> on the item:
>>> properties = dict(
? name='{length}ft. pole',
? length=10,
? properties=dict(
? 'broken'=dict(
? description="The end of this {length}ft. pole has been snapped off.",
? override_length=7
? ),
? )
? )
>>> ten_foot_pole = Item.from_dict(properties)
>>> ten_foot_pole.name
7ft. Pole
>>> ten_foot_pole.description
Broken. The end of this 10ft. pole has been snapped off.
This is useful when generating randomized Items, as random properties can
be added to base objects, modifying their attribute; the WeaponGenerator
(see below) uses overrides to create low-level magic weapons that change
the basic bludgeoning/piercing/slashing damage to fire, ice, poison...

"""
The base class for random item generators.
This class is intended to be subclassed, by individual subclasses for each
type (weapon, item, wand...). An ItemGenerator is instantiated with
DataSourceSets for base item definitions and rarity, and a dictionary of
property definitions organized by rarity ('common', 'uncommon'...). This
module provides a set of pre-defined DataSourceSets (WEAPON_TYPES, RARITY,
PROPERTIES_BY_RARITY) for this purpose, but subclasses generally provide
sensible defaults specific to their use.
A simple subclassing example:
class SharpStickGenerator(types.ItemGenerator):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(
bases=WeightedSet(
(dict(name='{type} stick', type='wooden', ...), 0.3),
(dict(name='{type} stick', type='lead', ...), 1.0),
(dict(name='{type} stick', type='silver', ...), 0.5),
(dict(name='{type} stick', type='glass', ...), 0.1),
),
raritytypes.RARITY,
properties_by_rarity=types.PROPERTIES_BY_RARITY,
)
Generating Random Items
Given an ItemGenerator class, use the ItemGenerator.random() method to
create randomized tiems. To do this, random() will:
1. Select a random base
2. Select a random rarity appropriate for the challenge rating
3. Select properties appropriate for legendary items
Example:
>>> stick = SharpStickGenerator().random(count=1, challenge_rating=17)
>>> stick[0].name
Silver Stick
>>> stick[0].rarity
legendary
>>> stick[0].description
Magical. This magical weapon grants +3 to attack and damage rolls.
