# define a class
class SomeClass(object):
    # ...
    # some definition here ...
    # ...

# create an instance of it
instance = SomeClass()

# then call the object as if it's a function
result = instance('foo', 'bar')

class SomeClass(object):
    # ...
    # some definition here ...
    # ...

    def __call__(self, foo, bar):
        return bar + foo

但是,正如我们从以前的答案中看到的那样,一个类本身就是一个金属类的例子,所以当我们使用这个类作为一个金属类(即当我们创建一个例子时),我们实际上称它为金属类的 __call__() 方法。

class Meta_1(type):
    def __call__(cls):
        print "Meta_1.__call__() before creating an instance of ", cls
        instance = super(Meta_1, cls).__call__()
        print "Meta_1.__call__() about to return instance."
        return instance

这是一个使用这个MetaClass的班级。

class Class_1(object):

    __metaclass__ = Meta_1

    def __new__(cls):
        print "Class_1.__new__() before creating an instance."
        instance = super(Class_1, cls).__new__(cls)
        print "Class_1.__new__() about to return instance."
        return instance

    def __init__(self):
        print "entering Class_1.__init__() for instance initialization."
        super(Class_1,self).__init__()
        print "exiting Class_1.__init__()."

现在,让我们创建一个类_1的例子。

instance = Class_1()
# Meta_1.__call__() before creating an instance of <class '__main__.Class_1'>.
# Class_1.__new__() before creating an instance.
# Class_1.__new__() about to return instance.
# entering Class_1.__init__() for instance initialization.
# exiting Class_1.__init__().
# Meta_1.__call__() about to return instance.

class type:
    def __call__(cls, *args, **kwarg):

        # ... maybe a few things done to cls here

        # then we call __new__() on the class to create an instance
        instance = cls.__new__(cls, *args, **kwargs)

        # ... maybe a few things done to the instance here

        # then we initialize the instance with its __init__() method
        instance.__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        # ... maybe a few more things done to instance here

        # then we return it
        return instance

从上述情况下,它表明,MetaClass的 __call__() 还有机会决定是否会最终对 Class_1.__new__() 或 Class_1.__init__() 进行呼叫。在执行过程中,它实际上可以返回没有被这些方法触摸的对象。

class Meta_2(type):
    singletons = {}

    def __call__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        if cls in Meta_2.singletons:
            # we return the only instance and skip a call to __new__()
            # and __init__()
            print ("{} singleton returning from Meta_2.__call__(), "
                   "skipping creation of new instance.".format(cls))
            return Meta_2.singletons[cls]

        # else if the singleton isn't present we proceed as usual
        print "Meta_2.__call__() before creating an instance."
        instance = super(Meta_2, cls).__call__(*args, **kwargs)
        Meta_2.singletons[cls] = instance
        print "Meta_2.__call__() returning new instance."
        return instance

class Class_2(object):

    __metaclass__ = Meta_2

    def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        print "Class_2.__new__() before creating instance."
        instance = super(Class_2, cls).__new__(cls)
        print "Class_2.__new__() returning instance."
        return instance

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        print "entering Class_2.__init__() for initialization."
        super(Class_2, self).__init__()
        print "exiting Class_2.__init__()."

让我们来看看在重复试图创建类型Class_2的对象时会发生什么。

a = Class_2()
# Meta_2.__call__() before creating an instance.
# Class_2.__new__() before creating instance.
# Class_2.__new__() returning instance.
# entering Class_2.__init__() for initialization.
# exiting Class_2.__init__().
# Meta_2.__call__() returning new instance.

b = Class_2()
# <class '__main__.Class_2'> singleton returning from Meta_2.__call__(), skipping creation of new instance.

c = Class_2()
# <class '__main__.Class_2'> singleton returning from Meta_2.__call__(), skipping creation of new instance.

a is b is c # True

类,在Python,是一个对象,和任何其他对象一样,它是一个例子“什么”。这个“什么”是所谓的MetaClass。这个MetaClass是一个特殊类型的类,创造了其他类的对象。因此,MetaClass负责创造新的类。

Class Name Tuple 具有由 Class A 继承的基类 词典具有所有类方法和类变量

另一种方式创建一个金属类是“金属类”的关键词,将金属类定义为一个简单的类,在继承类的参数中,通过金属类=金属类_名称。

Metaclass 可以在以下情况下具体使用:

一个用途是自动将新属性和方法添加到一个例子。

例如,如果你看 Django 模型,它们的定义看起来有点困惑。

class Person(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30)

然而,在工作时间里,人体对象充满了各种有用的方法。

其他人已经解释了金属玻璃是如何工作的,它们是如何适应Python类型系统的,这里有一个例子,它们可以用于什么。在我写的测试框架中,我想跟踪在哪个类被定义的顺序,以便我后来能够在这个顺序中安装它们,我发现使用金属玻璃最容易做到这一点。

class MyMeta(type):

    counter = 0

    def __init__(cls, name, bases, dic):
        type.__init__(cls, name, bases, dic)
        cls._order = MyMeta.counter
        MyMeta.counter += 1

class MyType(object):              # Python 2
    __metaclass__ = MyMeta

class MyType(metaclass=MyMeta):    # Python 3
    pass

任何是 MyType 的子类,然后获得一个类属性 _ 命令,记录了类被定义的顺序。

除了发布的答案,我可以说,一个甲状腺可以定义一个类的行为,所以,你可以明确设置你的甲状腺,每当Python获得一个关键词类,然后它开始搜索甲状腺,如果它没有找到 - 默认甲状腺类型用于创建一个类的对象,使用 __metaclass__属性,你可以设置你的甲状腺类:

class MyClass:
   __metaclass__ = type
   # write here other method
   # write here one more method

print(MyClass.__metaclass__)

它将产生这样的产量:

class 'type'

当然,你可以创建自己的金属类来定义使用你的类创建的任何类的行为。

要做到这一点,您的默认金属类型类必须继承,因为这是主要金属类:

class MyMetaClass(type):
   __metaclass__ = type
   # you can write here any behaviour you want

class MyTestClass:
   __metaclass__ = MyMetaClass

Obj = MyTestClass()
print(Obj.__metaclass__)
print(MyMetaClass.__metaclass__)

产量将是:

class '__main__.MyMetaClass'
class 'type'

看这:

(<class 'object'>,)

(<class 'type'>,)
>>> Object.__mro__
(<class '__main__.Object'>, <class 'object'>)
>>> ObjectWithMetaClass.__mro__
(This is "Meta" metaclass, <class 'object'>)
>>> 

换句话说,当一个对象没有创建(对象类型),我们正在寻找MetaClass。
