The file src/utilities/instance_utility.py was reviewed by Jarvis AI with the following findings:

1. Add a module-level docstring to provide an overview of the purpose and usage of this module.

   Existing code snippet:

   import importlib
   

   Suggested code snippet:

   """
   Module for instance utilities.
   
   This module provides functions for managing instances.
   """
   import importlib

3. Add type hints to the function signature for better code readability and maintainability.

   Existing code snippet:

   def create_instance_from_module_and_class(
   

   Suggested code snippet:

   def create_instance_from_module_and_class(module_name: str, class_name: str, constructor_kwargs=None)

4. Consider adding specific exception handling instead of catching all exceptions.

   Existing code snippet:

   try:
   

   Suggested code snippet:

   try:
       # Specific exception handling here
   

   • Link

5. Consider specifying the exception type(s) to catch instead of using a broad 'except' clause.

   Existing code snippet:

   try:
   

   Suggested code snippet:

   try:
       # code block

6. Consider using a more descriptive variable name instead of 'module'.

   Existing code snippet:

   module = importlib.import_module(module_name)
   

   Suggested code snippet:

   imported_module = importlib.import_module(module_name)

7. Consider using 'is' instead of 'is not' for better code readability.

   Existing code snippet:

   if constructor_kwargs is not None:
   

   Suggested code snippet:

   if constructor_kwargs is not None:

8. Consider using a more specific exception instead of catching all exceptions.

   Existing code snippet:

   except Exception as e:
   

   Suggested code snippet:

   except SpecificException as e:

9. Consider using a more descriptive variable name instead of 'instance'.

   Existing code snippet:

   instance = getattr(module, class_name)(**constructor_kwargs)
   

   Suggested code snippet:

   created_instance = getattr(module, class_name)(**constructor_kwargs)

10. Consider using a more descriptive variable name instead of 'instance'.

    Existing code snippet:

    instance = getattr(module, class_name)()
    

    Suggested code snippet:

    created_instance = getattr(module, class_name)()

11. Consider adding a return type hint to improve code readability and maintainability.

    Existing code snippet:

    return instance
    

    Suggested code snippet:

    return instance  # type: Any

12. Consider specifying the exception type(s) to catch instead of using a broad 'except' clause.

    Existing code snippet:

    except Exception as e:
    

    Suggested code snippet:

    except Exception as e:
        # code block

13. Consider using f-strings for string formatting instead of concatenation.

    Existing code snippet:

    logging.error(f"Error creating an instance of {class_name} class: {str(e)}")
    

    Suggested code snippet:

    logging.error(f"Error creating an instance of {class_name} class: {e}")

14. Consider returning None explicitly instead of relying on the default return behavior.

    Existing code snippet:

    return None
    

    Suggested code snippet:

    return None  # type: Optional[Any]
