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。
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")
