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。
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()
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")
．．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")
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):

def __setitem__(self, key, value):

def __getattr__(self, key):
