Where to create repository instances?
I've several repositories. To make them testable, I add the ORM session in the constructor. class Repository: def __init__(session): self.session = session def save(object): self.session().query(object).save() class FruitRepository(Repository): def custom_method(): # ... pass Problem: I need to inject the session every time I instantiate a repository. I'd like to have only one place in my code where the injection happens. To clean things up I'd like to separate creation from usage: from db import session def create_fruit_repository(): return FruitRepository(session) repository = create_fruit_repository() It doesn't feel clean. Does anyone know a proper pattern to solve this issue? Maybe the factory pattern? Edit Further information: the application is a web scraper with several layers (loading, processing, analysing, reporting). It has some dependencies, but no framework. The application runs constantly as a services, not as a cronjob. Most is done on the command line, but it provides a REST-API.

class Repository:
def __init__(session):
self.session = session
def save(object):
self.session().query(object).save()
class FruitRepository(Repository):
def custom_method():
# ...
pass
