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。
..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")
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
你可以创建一个@immutable装饰器,它覆盖__setattr__并将__slots__更改为一个空列表,然后用它装饰__init__方法。
编辑:正如OP所指出的,改变__slots__属性只会阻止新属性的创建,而不会阻止修改。
Edit2:下面是一个实现:
Edit3:使用__slots__会破坏这段代码,因为if会停止对象__dict__的创建。我正在寻找替代方案。
Edit4:嗯,就是这样。这是一个很粗鄙的问题,但可以作为练习:-)
class immutable(object):
def __init__(self, immutable_params):
self.immutable_params = immutable_params
def __call__(self, new):
params = self.immutable_params
def __set_if_unset__(self, name, value):
if name in self.__dict__:
raise Exception("Attribute %s has already been set" % name)
if not name in params:
raise Exception("Cannot create atribute %s" % name)
self.__dict__[name] = value;
def __new__(cls, *args, **kws):
cls.__setattr__ = __set_if_unset__
return super(cls.__class__, cls).__new__(cls, *args, **kws)
return __new__
class Point(object):
@immutable(['x', 'y'])
def __new__(): pass
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self.y = y
p = Point(1, 2)
p.x = 3 # Exception: Attribute x has already been set
p.z = 4 # Exception: Cannot create atribute z
从Python 3.7开始,你可以在你的类中使用@dataclass装饰器,它将像结构体一样是不可变的!不过,它可能会也可能不会将__hash__()方法添加到类中。引用:
hash() is used by built-in hash(), and when objects are added to hashed collections such as dictionaries and sets. Having a hash() implies that instances of the class are immutable. Mutability is a complicated property that depends on the programmer’s intent, the existence and behavior of eq(), and the values of the eq and frozen flags in the dataclass() decorator.
By default, dataclass() will not implicitly add a hash() method unless it is safe to do so. Neither will it add or change an existing explicitly defined hash() method. Setting the class attribute hash = None has a specific meaning to Python, as described in the hash() documentation.
If hash() is not explicit defined, or if it is set to None, then dataclass() may add an implicit hash() method. Although not recommended, you can force dataclass() to create a hash() method with unsafe_hash=True. This might be the case if your class is logically immutable but can nonetheless be mutated. This is a specialized use case and should be considered carefully.
下面是上面链接的文档中的例子:
@dataclass
class InventoryItem:
'''Class for keeping track of an item in inventory.'''
name: str
unit_price: float
quantity_on_hand: int = 0
def total_cost(self) -> float:
return self.unit_price * self.quantity_on_hand
如果您对具有行为的对象感兴趣,那么namedtuple几乎是您的解决方案。
正如namedtuple文档底部所描述的,您可以从namedtuple派生自己的类;然后,你可以添加你想要的行为。
例如(代码直接取自文档):
class Point(namedtuple('Point', 'x y')):
__slots__ = ()
@property
def hypot(self):
return (self.x ** 2 + self.y ** 2) ** 0.5
def __str__(self):
return 'Point: x=%6.3f y=%6.3f hypot=%6.3f' % (self.x, self.y, self.hypot)
for p in Point(3, 4), Point(14, 5/7):
print(p)
这将导致:
Point: x= 3.000 y= 4.000 hypot= 5.000
Point: x=14.000 y= 0.714 hypot=14.018
这种方法适用于Python 3和Python 2.7(在IronPython上也进行了测试)。
唯一的缺点是继承树有点奇怪;但这不是你经常玩的东西。
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
