# Using __loader__ with custom classes
class Registry:
def __init__(self):

def register(self, cls):
self._items[cls.__name__] = cls
return cls
def get(self, name):
return self._items.get(name)
registry = Registry()
@registry.register
class Widget:
pass
@registry.register
class Button:

print(registry._items)
print(registry.get("Widget"))
