我需要一种工作方法来获取从Python基类继承的所有类。


当前回答

我怎么能找到一个类的所有子类给它的名字?

我们当然可以很容易地做到这一点,只要能访问对象本身。

仅仅给出它的名字是一个糟糕的想法,因为可以有多个同名的类,甚至在同一个模块中定义。

我为另一个答案创建了一个实现,因为它回答了这个问题,而且它比这里的其他解决方案更优雅,下面是:

def get_subclasses(cls):
    """returns all subclasses of argument, cls"""
    if issubclass(cls, type):
        subclasses = cls.__subclasses__(cls)
    else:
        subclasses = cls.__subclasses__()
    for subclass in subclasses:
        subclasses.extend(get_subclasses(subclass))
    return subclasses

用法:

>>> import pprint
>>> list_of_classes = get_subclasses(int)
>>> pprint.pprint(list_of_classes)
[<class 'bool'>,
 <enum 'IntEnum'>,
 <enum 'IntFlag'>,
 <class 'sre_constants._NamedIntConstant'>,
 <class 'subprocess.Handle'>,
 <enum '_ParameterKind'>,
 <enum 'Signals'>,
 <enum 'Handlers'>,
 <enum 'RegexFlag'>]

其他回答

这个答案不如使用@unutbu提到的特殊内置__subclasses__()类方法好,所以我只是把它作为一个练习。subclasses()函数的定义返回一个字典,该字典将所有子类名称映射到子类本身。

def traced_subclass(baseclass):
    class _SubclassTracer(type):
        def __new__(cls, classname, bases, classdict):
            obj = type(classname, bases, classdict)
            if baseclass in bases: # sanity check
                attrname = '_%s__derived' % baseclass.__name__
                derived = getattr(baseclass, attrname, {})
                derived.update( {classname:obj} )
                setattr(baseclass, attrname, derived)
             return obj
    return _SubclassTracer

def subclasses(baseclass):
    attrname = '_%s__derived' % baseclass.__name__
    return getattr(baseclass, attrname, None)


class BaseClass(object):
    pass

class SubclassA(BaseClass):
    __metaclass__ = traced_subclass(BaseClass)

class SubclassB(BaseClass):
    __metaclass__ = traced_subclass(BaseClass)

print subclasses(BaseClass)

输出:

{'SubclassB': <class '__main__.SubclassB'>,
 'SubclassA': <class '__main__.SubclassA'>}

一般形式的最简单解:

def get_subclasses(cls):
    for subclass in cls.__subclasses__():
        yield from get_subclasses(subclass)
        yield subclass

和类方法,如果你有一个单一的类,你继承:

@classmethod
def get_subclasses(cls):
    for subclass in cls.__subclasses__():
        yield from subclass.get_subclasses()
        yield subclass

获取所有子类列表的一个更短的版本:

from itertools import chain

def subclasses(cls):
    return list(
        chain.from_iterable(
            [list(chain.from_iterable([[x], subclasses(x)])) for x in cls.__subclasses__()]
        )
    )

 <class 'sre_constants._NamedIntConstant'>,
 <class 'subprocess.Handle'>,
 <enum '_ParameterKind'>,
 <enum 'Signals'>,
 <enum 'Handlers'>,
 <enum 'RegexFlag'>]

下面是一个没有递归的版本:

def get_subclasses_gen(cls):

    def _subclasses(classes, seen):
        while True:
            subclasses = sum((x.__subclasses__() for x in classes), [])
            yield from classes
            yield from seen
            found = []
            if not subclasses:
                return

            classes = subclasses
            seen = found

    return _subclasses([cls], [])

这与其他实现的不同之处在于它返回原始类。 这是因为它使代码更简单,并且:

class Ham(object):
    pass

assert(issubclass(Ham, Ham)) # True

如果get_subclasses_gen看起来有点奇怪,那是因为它是通过将尾递归实现转换为循环生成器创建的:

def get_subclasses(cls):

    def _subclasses(classes, seen):
        subclasses = sum(*(frozenset(x.__subclasses__()) for x in classes))
        found = classes + seen
        if not subclasses:
            return found

        return _subclasses(subclasses, found)

    return _subclasses([cls], [])
