🔒 would this be stupid?

[regal lake]

i am writing some code to write code
and have made up this method

@endpoint(pickle.loads(b""))
def get_device_state(session, id: int) -> bool: ...

so instead of having to write the actual code i can do some implementation in the decorator handling all the edge cases
instead of serializing the meta data of the endpoint i just pickle it and load it from a literal bytes object
and i keep a ~ dummy definition as an interface

I don't quite understand what you're asking, but does the pickled data ever come from the client, or is it 100% always under the control of the server?

its in the source code
i was writing some code to translate api client from 1 lang to pyhon
and i realized what if i dont write out the whole code for the function instead i make a defline to show an interface pickle the meta data and write a decorator that can run the command based on the metadata

I still don't understand, but nvm then. I was just going to point out safety concerns when using loads.

oh ye ik

let me reiterate
i have an endpoint defined in java
i want to use it from python
so i am translating it and i am keeping track of the following
parameters
does it need authentication, headers, what method it needs, under what name and what location are those parameters...
the first is needed to be visible for the user hence i put them in the dummy function
the rest is needed only to make the request and i have decided to pass it to a function that reads these "meta" data and make the appropriate request
before i was trying to decide the edge cases in advance and write code appropriatly per function
which approach is better?
