Monkeypatching对象

Python中的每个对象都有__dict__成员，用于存储对象的属性。所以，你可以这样做:

class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self, arg1, arg2, **kwargs):
        #do stuff with arg1 and arg2
        self.__dict__.update(kwargs)

f = Foo('arg1', 'arg2', bar=20, baz=10)
#now f is a Foo object with two extra attributes

可以利用这一点向对象任意添加属性和函数。这也可以用来创建一个快速和肮脏的结构类型。

class struct(object):
    def __init__(**kwargs):
       self.__dict__.update(kwargs)

s = struct(foo=10, bar=11, baz="i'm a string!')

内置base64, zlib和rot13编解码器

字符串有编码和解码方法。通常这用于将str转换为unicode，反之亦然，例如u = s.c encode('utf8')。但还有其他一些方便的内置编解码器。使用zlib(和bz2)进行压缩和解压，无需显式导入:

>>> s = 'a' * 100
>>> s.encode('zlib')
'x\x9cKL\xa4=\x00\x00zG%\xe5'

类似地，你可以编码和解码base64:

>>> 'Hello world'.encode('base64')
'SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=\n'
>>> 'SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=\n'.decode('base64')
'Hello world'

当然，你也可以:

>>> 'Secret message'.encode('rot13')
'Frperg zrffntr'

只需少量的工作，线程模块就变得非常容易使用。此装饰器更改函数，使其在自己的线程中运行，返回占位符类实例，而不是常规结果。你可以通过检查placeolder来探测答案。结果或通过调用placeholder.awaitResult()来等待它。

def threadify(function):
    """
    exceptionally simple threading decorator. Just:
    >>> @threadify
    ... def longOperation(result):
    ...     time.sleep(3)
    ...     return result
    >>> A= longOperation("A has finished")
    >>> B= longOperation("B has finished")

    A doesn't have a result yet:
    >>> print A.result
    None

    until we wait for it:
    >>> print A.awaitResult()
    A has finished

    we could also wait manually - half a second more should be enough for B:
    >>> time.sleep(0.5); print B.result
    B has finished
    """
    class thr (threading.Thread,object):
        def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
            threading.Thread.__init__ ( self )  
            self.args, self.kwargs = args, kwargs
            self.result = None
            self.start()
        def awaitResult(self):
            self.join()
            return self.result        
        def run(self):
            self.result=function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
    return thr

您可以用元类重写类的mro

>>> class A(object):
...     def a_method(self):
...         print("A")
... 
>>> class B(object):
...     def b_method(self):
...         print("B")
... 
>>> class MROMagicMeta(type):
...     def mro(cls):
...         return (cls, B, object)
... 
>>> class C(A, metaclass=MROMagicMeta):
...     def c_method(self):
...         print("C")
... 
>>> cls = C()
>>> cls.c_method()
C
>>> cls.a_method()
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'C' object has no attribute 'a_method'
>>> cls.b_method()
B
>>> type(cls).__bases__
(<class '__main__.A'>,)
>>> type(cls).__mro__
(<class '__main__.C'>, <class '__main__.B'>, <class 'object'>)

藏起来可能是有原因的。：）

可读正则表达式

在Python中，您可以将正则表达式拆分为多行，命名匹配并插入注释。

示例详细语法(来自Python):

>>> pattern = """
... ^                   # beginning of string
... M{0,4}              # thousands - 0 to 4 M's
... (CM|CD|D?C{0,3})    # hundreds - 900 (CM), 400 (CD), 0-300 (0 to 3 C's),
...                     #            or 500-800 (D, followed by 0 to 3 C's)
... (XC|XL|L?X{0,3})    # tens - 90 (XC), 40 (XL), 0-30 (0 to 3 X's),
...                     #        or 50-80 (L, followed by 0 to 3 X's)
... (IX|IV|V?I{0,3})    # ones - 9 (IX), 4 (IV), 0-3 (0 to 3 I's),
...                     #        or 5-8 (V, followed by 0 to 3 I's)
... $                   # end of string
... """
>>> re.search(pattern, 'M', re.VERBOSE)

命名匹配示例(摘自正则表达式HOWTO)

>>> p = re.compile(r'(?P<word>\b\w+\b)')
>>> m = p.search( '(((( Lots of punctuation )))' )
>>> m.group('word')
'Lots'

由于字符串字面值的串联，你也可以在不使用re.VERBOSE的情况下详细地编写一个正则表达式。

>>> pattern = (
...     "^"                 # beginning of string
...     "M{0,4}"            # thousands - 0 to 4 M's
...     "(CM|CD|D?C{0,3})"  # hundreds - 900 (CM), 400 (CD), 0-300 (0 to 3 C's),
...                         #            or 500-800 (D, followed by 0 to 3 C's)
...     "(XC|XL|L?X{0,3})"  # tens - 90 (XC), 40 (XL), 0-30 (0 to 3 X's),
...                         #        or 50-80 (L, followed by 0 to 3 X's)
...     "(IX|IV|V?I{0,3})"  # ones - 9 (IX), 4 (IV), 0-3 (0 to 3 I's),
...                         #        or 5-8 (V, followed by 0 to 3 I's)
...     "$"                 # end of string
... )
>>> print pattern
"^M{0,4}(CM|CD|D?C{0,3})(XC|XL|L?X{0,3})(IX|IV|V?I{0,3})$"

懒得初始化字典中的每个字段?没有问题:

在Python > 2.3中:

from collections import defaultdict

Python中<= 2.3:

def defaultdict(type_):
    class Dict(dict):
        def __getitem__(self, key):
            return self.setdefault(key, type_())
    return Dict()

在任何版本中:

d = defaultdict(list)
for stuff in lots_of_stuff:
     d[stuff.name].append(stuff)

更新:

谢谢肯·阿诺德。我重新实现了一个更复杂的defaultdict版本。它的行为应该与标准库中的完全相同。

def defaultdict(default_factory, *args, **kw):                              

    class defaultdict(dict):

        def __missing__(self, key):
            if default_factory is None:
                raise KeyError(key)
            return self.setdefault(key, default_factory())

        def __getitem__(self, key):
            try:
                return dict.__getitem__(self, key)
            except KeyError:
                return self.__missing__(key)

    return defaultdict(*args, **kw)
