最简单的方法是使用__slots__:

class A(object):
    __slots__ = []

A的实例现在是不可变的，因为您不能在它们上设置任何属性。

如果你想让类实例包含数据，你可以将this和derived from tuple结合起来:

from operator import itemgetter
class Point(tuple):
    __slots__ = []
    def __new__(cls, x, y):
        return tuple.__new__(cls, (x, y))
    x = property(itemgetter(0))
    y = property(itemgetter(1))

p = Point(2, 3)
p.x
# 2
p.y
# 3

编辑:如果你想摆脱索引，你可以重写__getitem__():

class Point(tuple):
    __slots__ = []
    def __new__(cls, x, y):
        return tuple.__new__(cls, (x, y))
    @property
    def x(self):
        return tuple.__getitem__(self, 0)
    @property
    def y(self):
        return tuple.__getitem__(self, 1)
    def __getitem__(self, item):
        raise TypeError

注意，不能使用operator。在这种情况下，属性的itemgetter，因为这将依赖于Point.__getitem__()而不是tuple.__getitem__()。此外，这不会阻止使用元组。__getitem__(p, 0)，但我很难想象这应该如何构成一个问题。

我不认为创建不可变对象的“正确”方法是编写C扩展。Python通常依赖于库实现者和库用户是成年人，而不是真正强制执行接口，接口应该在文档中清楚地说明。这就是为什么我不认为通过调用object.__setattr__()来规避被重写的__setattr__()是一个问题的可能性。如果有人这么做，风险自负。

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):
        return self._inobj.__iter__()

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        raise AttributeError, 'Object is read-only'

    def __getattr__(self, key):
        x = getattr(self._inobj, key)
        if callable(x):
              return x
        else:
              return ImmutableObject(x)

    def __hash__(self):
        return self._inobj.__hash__()

    def __eq__(self, second):
        return self._inobj.__eq__(second)

    def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
        if attr not in  ['_inobj', '_inited'] and self._inited == True:
            raise AttributeError, 'Object is read-only'
        object.__setattr__(self, attr, value)

我使用了与Alex相同的想法:一个元类和一个“init marker”，但结合重写__setattr__:

>>> from abc import ABCMeta
>>> _INIT_MARKER = '_@_in_init_@_'
>>> class _ImmutableMeta(ABCMeta):
... 
...     """Meta class to construct Immutable."""
... 
...     def __call__(cls, *args, **kwds):
...         obj = cls.__new__(cls, *args, **kwds)
...         object.__setattr__(obj, _INIT_MARKER, True)
...         cls.__init__(obj, *args, **kwds)
...         object.__delattr__(obj, _INIT_MARKER)
...         return obj
...
>>> def _setattr(self, name, value):
...     if hasattr(self, _INIT_MARKER):
...         object.__setattr__(self, name, value)
...     else:
...         raise AttributeError("Instance of '%s' is immutable."
...                              % self.__class__.__name__)
...
>>> def _delattr(self, name):
...     raise AttributeError("Instance of '%s' is immutable."
...                          % self.__class__.__name__)
...
>>> _im_dict = {
...     '__doc__': "Mix-in class for immutable objects.",
...     '__copy__': lambda self: self,   # self is immutable, so just return it
...     '__setattr__': _setattr,
...     '__delattr__': _delattr}
...
>>> Immutable = _ImmutableMeta('Immutable', (), _im_dict)

注意:我直接调用元类，以使它在Python 2中都能工作。X和3.x。

>>> class T1(Immutable):
... 
...     def __init__(self, x=1, y=2):
...         self.x = x
...         self.y = y
...
>>> t1 = T1(y=8)
>>> t1.x, t1.y
(1, 8)
>>> t1.x = 7
AttributeError: Instance of 'T1' is immutable.

它也适用于插槽…:

>>> class T2(Immutable):
... 
...     __slots__ = 's1', 's2'
... 
...     def __init__(self, s1, s2):
...         self.s1 = s1
...         self.s2 = s2
...
>>> t2 = T2('abc', 'xyz')
>>> t2.s1, t2.s2
('abc', 'xyz')
>>> t2.s1 += 'd'
AttributeError: Instance of 'T2' is immutable.

．.． 和多重继承:

>>> class T3(T1, T2):
... 
...     def __init__(self, x, y, s1, s2):
...         T1.__init__(self, x, y)
...         T2.__init__(self, s1, s2)
...
>>> t3 = T3(12, 4, 'a', 'b')
>>> t3.x, t3.y, t3.s1, t3.s2
(12, 4, 'a', 'b')
>>> t3.y -= 3
AttributeError: Instance of 'T3' is immutable.

但是请注意，可变属性仍然是可变的:

>>> t3 = T3(12, [4, 7], 'a', 'b')
>>> t3.y.append(5)
>>> t3.y
[4, 7, 5]

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

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

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
