# Exercise 7.11: Class Methods in Practice

### Exercise 7.11: Class Methods in Practice
In your `report.py` and `portfolio.py` files, the creation of a `Portfolio`
object is a bit muddled. For example, the `report.py` program has code like this:
```python
def read_portfolio(filename, **opts):
'''
Read a stock portfolio file into a list of dictionaries with keys
name, shares, and price.
'''
with open(filename) as lines:
portdicts = fileparse.parse_csv(lines,
select=['name','shares','price'],
types=[str,int,float],
**opts)
portfolio = [ Stock(**d) for d in portdicts ]
return Portfolio(portfolio)
```
and the `portfolio.py` file defines `Portfolio()` with an odd initializer
like this:
```python
class Portfolio:
def __init__(self, holdings):
self.holdings = holdings
...
```
Frankly, the chain of responsibility is all a bit confusing because the
code is scattered. If a `Portfolio` class is supposed to contain
a list of `Stock` instances, maybe you should change the class to be a bit more clear.
Like this:
```python
# portfolio.py
import stock
class Portfolio:
def __init__(self):
self.holdings = []
def append(self, holding):
if not isinstance(holding, stock.Stock):
raise TypeError('Expected a Stock instance')
self.holdings.append(holding)
...
```
If you want to read a portfolio from a CSV file, maybe you should make a
class method for it:
```python
# portfolio.py
import fileparse
import stock
class Portfolio:
def __init__(self):
self.holdings = []
def append(self, holding):
if not isinstance(holding, stock.Stock):
raise TypeError('Expected a Stock instance')
self.holdings.append(holding)
@classmethod
def from_csv(cls, lines, **opts):
self = cls()
portdicts = fileparse.parse_csv(lines,
select=['name','shares','price'],
types=[str,int,float],
**opts)
for d in portdicts:
self.append(stock.Stock(**d))
return self
```
To use this new Portfolio class, you can now write code like this:
```
>>> from portfolio import Portfolio
>>> with open('Data/portfolio.csv') as lines:
... port = Portfolio.from_csv(lines)
...
>>>
```
Make these changes to the `Portfolio` class and modify the `report.py`
code to use the class method.
