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)。
更新:
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。
就像字典一样
我有一个开源库,在那里我以函数的方式做事情,所以在不可变对象中移动数据是有帮助的。但是,我不希望必须转换我的数据对象以便客户机与它们交互。所以,我想到了这个-它给你一个字典一样的对象,这是不可变的+一些帮助方法。
这要归功于Sven Marnach对限制属性更新和删除的基本执行的回答。

例子
obj = immutable({
'alpha': 1,
'beta': 2,
'dalet': 4
})
obj.alpha # 1
obj['alpha'] # 1
obj.get('beta') # 2
del obj['alpha'] # TypeError
obj.alpha = 2 # TypeError
new_obj = update(obj, alpha=10)
new_obj is not obj # True
new_obj.get('alpha') == 10 # True
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")
您可以覆盖setattr,仍然使用init来设置变量。你可以使用超类setattr。这是代码。
class Immutable:
__slots__ = ('a','b')
def __init__(self, a , b):
super().__setattr__('a',a)
super().__setattr__('b',b)
def __str__(self):
return "".format(self.a, self.b)
def __setattr__(self, *ignored):
raise NotImplementedError
def __delattr__(self, *ignored):
raise NotImplementedError
..如何在C中“正确地”做这件事?
你可以使用Cython为Python创建一个扩展类型:
cdef class Immutable:
cdef readonly object a, b
cdef object __weakref__ # enable weak referencing support
def __init__(self, a, b):
self.a, self.b = a, b
它既适用于Python 2。X和3。
测试
# compile on-the-fly
import pyximport; pyximport.install() # $ pip install cython
from immutable import Immutable
o = Immutable(1, 2)
assert o.a == 1, str(o.a)
assert o.b == 2
try: o.a = 3
except AttributeError:
pass
else:
assert 0, 'attribute must be readonly'
try: o[1]
except TypeError:
pass
else:
assert 0, 'indexing must not be supported'
try: o.c = 1
except AttributeError:
pass
else:
assert 0, 'no new attributes are allowed'
o = Immutable('a', [])
assert o.a == 'a'
assert o.b == []
o.b.append(3) # attribute may contain mutable object
assert o.b == [3]
try: o.c
except AttributeError:
pass
else:
assert 0, 'no c attribute'
o = Immutable(b=3,a=1)
assert o.a == 1 and o.b == 3
try: del o.b
except AttributeError:
pass
else:
assert 0, "can't delete attribute"
d = dict(b=3, a=1)
o = Immutable(**d)
assert o.a == d['a'] and o.b == d['b']
o = Immutable(1,b=3)
assert o.a == 1 and o.b == 3
try: object.__setattr__(o, 'a', 1)
except AttributeError:
pass
else:
assert 0, 'attributes are readonly'
try: object.__setattr__(o, 'c', 1)
except AttributeError:
pass
else:
assert 0, 'no new attributes'
try: Immutable(1,c=3)
except TypeError:
pass
else:
assert 0, 'accept only a,b keywords'
for kwd in [dict(a=1), dict(b=2)]:
try: Immutable(**kwd)
except TypeError:
pass
else:
assert 0, 'Immutable requires exactly 2 arguments'
如果你不介意索引支持,那么@Sven Marnach建议的collections.namedtuple是更可取的:
Immutable = collections.namedtuple("Immutable", "a b")
另一个想法是完全不允许__setattr__而使用object。构造函数中的__setattr__:
class Point(object):
def __init__(self, x, y):
object.__setattr__(self, "x", x)
object.__setattr__(self, "y", y)
def __setattr__(self, *args):
raise TypeError
def __delattr__(self, *args):
raise TypeError
当然你可以用object。__setattr__(p, "x", 3)来修改一个Point实例p,但您的原始实现遭受同样的问题(尝试tuple。__setattr__(i, "x", 42)在一个不可变实例)。
您可以在原始实现中应用相同的技巧:去掉__getitem__(),并在属性函数中使用tuple.__getitem__()。
