我刚刚想到的另一个解决方案是:获得与原始代码相同行为的最简单方法是

Immutable = collections.namedtuple("Immutable", ["a", "b"])

它并没有解决属性可以通过[0]等访问的问题，但至少它相当简短，并提供了与pickle和copy兼容的额外优势。

namedtuple创建了一个类似于我在这个答案中描述的类型，即从tuple派生并使用__slots__。它在Python 2.6或更高版本中可用。

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__()。

第三方attr模块提供了此功能。

编辑:python 3.7已经通过@dataclass在stdlib中采用了这个想法。

$ pip install attrs
$ python
>>> @attr.s(frozen=True)
... class C(object):
...     x = attr.ib()
>>> i = C(1)
>>> i.x = 2
Traceback (most recent call last):
   ...
attr.exceptions.FrozenInstanceError: can't set attribute

Attr通过覆盖__setattr__来实现冻结类，根据文档，Attr在每次实例化时都有轻微的性能影响。

如果您习惯使用类作为数据类型，attr可能特别有用，因为它为您处理样板文件(但没有任何魔力)。特别地，它为你编写了9个dunder (__X__)方法(除非你关闭其中任何一个)，包括repr, init, hash和所有比较函数。

Attr还为__slots__提供了一个帮助器。

继承自以下Immutable类的类，在它们的__init__方法执行完成后，它们的实例也是不可变的。正如其他人指出的那样，因为它是纯python，所以没有什么可以阻止某人使用来自基对象和类型的特殊方法的突变，但这足以阻止任何人意外地突变类/实例。

它通过用元类劫持类创建过程来工作。

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__)。

下面的基本解决方案针对以下场景:

__init__()可以像往常一样访问属性。 在此之后，对象仅冻结属性更改:

其思想是覆盖__setattr__方法，并在每次对象冻结状态改变时替换其实现。

因此，我们需要一些方法(_freeze)来存储这两个实现，并在请求时在它们之间切换。

这个机制可以在用户类内部实现，也可以从一个特殊的freeze类继承，如下所示:

class Freezer:
    def _freeze(self, do_freeze=True):
        def raise_sa(*args):            
            raise AttributeError("Attributes are frozen and can not be changed!")
        super().__setattr__('_active_setattr', (super().__setattr__, raise_sa)[do_freeze])

    def __setattr__(self, key, value):        
        return self._active_setattr(key, value)

class A(Freezer):    
    def __init__(self):
        self._freeze(False)
        self.x = 10
        self._freeze()
