虽然我从来都不需要这样做,但我突然意识到用Python创建一个不可变对象可能有点棘手。你不能只是覆盖__setattr__,因为这样你甚至不能在__init__中设置属性。子类化一个元组是一个有效的技巧:

class Immutable(tuple):
    
    def __new__(cls, a, b):
        return tuple.__new__(cls, (a, b))

    @property
    def a(self):
        return self[0]
        
    @property
    def b(self):
        return self[1]

    def __str__(self):
        return "<Immutable {0}, {1}>".format(self.a, self.b)
    
    def __setattr__(self, *ignored):
        raise NotImplementedError

    def __delattr__(self, *ignored):
        raise NotImplementedError

但是你可以通过self[0]和self[1]访问a和b变量,这很烦人。

这在Pure Python中可行吗?如果不是,我该如何用C扩展来做呢?

(只能在python3中工作的答案是可以接受的)。

从Python 3.7开始,要使用的方法是使用@dataclass装饰器,参见最新接受的答案。


当前回答

你可以在init的最后一条语句中重写setAttr。那么你可以构建,但不能改变。显然,你仍然可以用usint对象重写。但在实践中,大多数语言都有某种形式的反射,因此不可变始终是一个有漏洞的抽象。不可变性更多的是防止客户端意外地违反对象的契约。我使用:

=============================

最初提供的解决方案是不正确的,这是基于使用这里的解决方案的评论而更新的

原来的解决方案是错误的,这是一种有趣的方式,所以它被包括在底部。

===============================

class ImmutablePair(object):

    __initialised = False # a class level variable that should always stay false.
    def __init__(self, a, b):
        try :
            self.a = a
            self.b = b
        finally:
            self.__initialised = True #an instance level variable

    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        if self.__initialised:
            self._raise_error()
        else :
            super(ImmutablePair, self).__setattr__(key, value)

    def _raise_error(self, *args, **kw):
        raise NotImplementedError("Attempted To Modify Immutable Object")

if __name__ == "__main__":

    immutable_object = ImmutablePair(1,2)

    print immutable_object.a
    print immutable_object.b

    try :
        immutable_object.a = 3
    except Exception as e:
        print e

    print immutable_object.a
    print immutable_object.b

输出:

1
2
Attempted To Modify Immutable Object
1
2

======================================

最初的实现:

评论中指出,这实际上是行不通的,因为它阻止了在重写类setattr方法时创建多个对象,这意味着不能作为self创建第二个对象。A =将在第二次初始化时失败。

class ImmutablePair(object):

    def __init__(self, a, b):
        self.a = a
        self.b = b
        ImmutablePair.__setattr__ = self._raise_error

    def _raise_error(self, *args, **kw):
        raise NotImplementedError("Attempted To Modify Immutable Object")

其他回答

这里没有包括的是完全不可变性……不仅仅是父对象,还有所有的子对象。例如,元组/frozensets可能是不可变的,但它所属的对象可能不是。下面是一个小的(不完整的)版本,它在执行不变性方面做得很好:

# Initialize lists
a = [1,2,3]
b = [4,5,6]
c = [7,8,9]

l = [a,b]

# We can reassign in a list 
l[0] = c

# But not a tuple
t = (a,b)
#t[0] = c -> Throws exception
# But elements can be modified
t[0][1] = 4
t
([1, 4, 3], [4, 5, 6])
# Fix it back
t[0][1] = 2

li = ImmutableObject(l)
li
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
# Can't assign
#li[0] = c will fail
# Can reference
li[0]
[1, 2, 3]
# But immutability conferred on returned object too
#li[0][1] = 4 will throw an exception

# Full solution should wrap all the comparison e.g. decorators.
# Also, you'd usually want to add a hash function, i didn't put
# an interface for that.

class ImmutableObject(object):
    def __init__(self, inobj):
        self._inited = False
        self._inobj = inobj
        self._inited = True

    def __repr__(self):
        return self._inobj.__repr__()

    def __str__(self):
        return self._inobj.__str__()

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return ImmutableObject(self._inobj.__getitem__(key))

    def __iter__(self):
        return self._inobj.__iter__()

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        raise AttributeError, 'Object is read-only'

    def __getattr__(self, key):
        x = getattr(self._inobj, key)
        if callable(x):
              return x
        else:
              return ImmutableObject(x)

    def __hash__(self):
        return self._inobj.__hash__()

    def __eq__(self, second):
        return self._inobj.__eq__(second)

    def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
        if attr not in  ['_inobj', '_inited'] and self._inited == True:
            raise AttributeError, 'Object is read-only'
        object.__setattr__(self, attr, value)

这种方式不停止对象。__setattr__从工作,但我仍然发现它有用:

class A(object):

    def __new__(cls, children, *args, **kwargs):
        self = super(A, cls).__new__(cls)
        self._frozen = False  # allow mutation from here to end of  __init__
        # other stuff you need to do in __new__ goes here
        return self

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(A, self).__init__()
        self._frozen = True  # prevent future mutation

    def __setattr__(self, name, value):
        # need to special case setting _frozen.
        if name != '_frozen' and self._frozen:
            raise TypeError('Instances are immutable.')
        else:
            super(A, self).__setattr__(name, value)

    def __delattr__(self, name):
        if self._frozen:
            raise TypeError('Instances are immutable.')
        else:
            super(A, self).__delattr__(name)

你可能需要根据用例重写更多的东西(比如__setitem__)。

最简单的方法是使用__slots__:

class A(object):
    __slots__ = []

A的实例现在是不可变的,因为您不能在它们上设置任何属性。

如果你想让类实例包含数据,你可以将this和derived from tuple结合起来:

from operator import itemgetter
class Point(tuple):
    __slots__ = []
    def __new__(cls, x, y):
        return tuple.__new__(cls, (x, y))
    x = property(itemgetter(0))
    y = property(itemgetter(1))

p = Point(2, 3)
p.x
# 2
p.y
# 3

编辑:如果你想摆脱索引,你可以重写__getitem__():

class Point(tuple):
    __slots__ = []
    def __new__(cls, x, y):
        return tuple.__new__(cls, (x, y))
    @property
    def x(self):
        return tuple.__getitem__(self, 0)
    @property
    def y(self):
        return tuple.__getitem__(self, 1)
    def __getitem__(self, item):
        raise TypeError

注意,不能使用operator。在这种情况下,属性的itemgetter,因为这将依赖于Point.__getitem__()而不是tuple.__getitem__()。此外,这不会阻止使用元组。__getitem__(p, 0),但我很难想象这应该如何构成一个问题。

我不认为创建不可变对象的“正确”方法是编写C扩展。Python通常依赖于库实现者和库用户是成年人,而不是真正强制执行接口,接口应该在文档中清楚地说明。这就是为什么我不认为通过调用object.__setattr__()来规避被重写的__setattr__()是一个问题的可能性。如果有人这么做,风险自负。

我已经创建了一个小型类装饰器decorator,以使类不可变(除了在__init__内部)。作为https://github.com/google/etils的一部分。

from etils import epy


@epy.frozen
class A:

  def __init__(self):
    self.x = 123  # Inside `__init__`, attribute can be assigned

a = A()
a.x = 456  # AttributeError

这也支持继承。

实现:

_Cls = TypeVar('_Cls')


def frozen(cls: _Cls) -> _Cls:
  """Class decorator which prevent mutating attributes after `__init__`."""
  if not isinstance(cls, type):
    raise TypeError(f'{cls.__name__} is not a class.')

  cls.__init__ = _wrap_init(cls.__init__)
  cls.__setattr__ = _wrap_setattr(cls.__setattr__)
  return cls


def _wrap_init(init_fn):
  """`__init__` wrapper."""

  @functools.wraps(init_fn)
  def new_init(self, *args, **kwargs):
    if hasattr(self, '_epy_is_init_done'):
      # `_epy_is_init_done` already created, so it means we're
      # a `super().__init__` call.
      return init_fn(self, *args, **kwargs)
    object.__setattr__(self, '_epy_is_init_done', False)
    init_fn(self, *args, **kwargs)
    object.__setattr__(self, '_epy_is_init_done', True)

  return new_init

def _wrap_setattr(setattr_fn):
  """`__setattr__` wrapper."""

  @functools.wraps(setattr_fn)
  def new_setattr(self, name, value):
    if not hasattr(self, '_epy_is_init_done'):
      raise ValueError(
          'Child of `@epy.frozen` class should be `@epy.frozen` too. (Error'
          f' raised by {type(self)})'
      )
    if not self._epy_is_init_done:  # pylint: disable=protected-access
      return setattr_fn(self, name, value)
    else:
      raise AttributeError(
          f'Cannot assign {name!r} in `@epy.frozen` class {type(self)}'
      )

  return new_setattr

我找到了一种方法,不用子类化tuple, namedtuple等。你所需要做的就是在初始化后禁用setattr和delattr(如果你想让一个集合成为不可变的,也要禁用setitem和delitem):

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    # something here

    self.lock()

其中lock可以是这样的:

@classmethod
def lock(cls):
    def raiser(*a):
        raise TypeError('this instance is immutable')

    cls.__setattr__ = raiser
    cls.__delattr__ = raiser
    if hasattr(cls, '__setitem__'):
        cls.__setitem__ = raiser
        cls.__delitem__ = raiser

你可以用这个方法创建类Immutable,并像我展示的那样使用它。

如果你不想在每个init中都写self.lock(),你可以用元类自动实现:

class ImmutableType(type):
    @classmethod
    def change_init(mcs, original_init_method):
        def __new_init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
            if callable(original_init_method):
                original_init_method(self, *args, **kwargs)

            cls = self.__class__

            def raiser(*a):
                raise TypeError('this instance is immutable')

            cls.__setattr__ = raiser
            cls.__delattr__ = raiser
            if hasattr(cls, '__setitem__'):
                cls.__setitem__ = raiser
                cls.__delitem__ = raiser

        return __new_init__

    def __new__(mcs, name, parents, kwargs):
        kwargs['__init__'] = mcs.change_init(kwargs.get('__init__'))
        return type.__new__(mcs, name, parents, kwargs)


class Immutable(metaclass=ImmutableType):
    pass

Test

class SomeImmutableClass(Immutable):
    def __init__(self, some_value: int):
        self.important_attr = some_value

    def some_method(self):
        return 2 * self.important_attr


ins = SomeImmutableClass(3)
print(ins.some_method())  # 6
ins.important_attr += 1  # TypeError
ins.another_attr = 2  # TypeError
