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。

简而言之:一类是创建一个例子的图标,一类是创建一个类的图标,可以很容易地看到,在Python类中,也需要第一类对象才能实现这种行为。

我从来没有自己写过一个,但我认为在Django框架中可以看到最可爱的用途之一。模型类使用一个模型类的方法,以允许写新的模型或形式类的宣言风格。

剩下的就是:如果你不知道什么是金属玻璃,那么你不需要它们的可能性是99%。

看这:

>>> 

换句话说,当一个对象没有创建(对象类型),我们正在寻找MetaClass。

类型实际上是一类 - 创建另一个类的类型. 大多数类型是类型的子类型. 类型接收新类作为其第一个论点,并提供到类对象的访问,如下所述的细节:

>>> class MetaClass(type):
...     def __init__(cls, name, bases, attrs):
...         print ('class name: %s' %name )
...         print ('Defining class %s' %cls)
...         print('Bases %s: ' %bases)
...         print('Attributes')
...         for (name, value) in attrs.items():
...             print ('%s :%r' %(name, value))
... 

>>> class NewClass(object, metaclass=MetaClass):
...    get_choch='dairy'
... 
class name: NewClass
Bases <class 'object'>: 
Defining class <class 'NewClass'>
get_choch :'dairy'
__module__ :'builtins'
__qualname__ :'NewClass'

注:

请注意,课堂在任何时候都没有被暂停;创建课堂的简单行为引发了金属课堂的执行。

# 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

Python 类本身是它们的 meta 类的对象 - 例如。

默认的金属类,当您确定类时应用于:

class foo:
    ...

例如,假设您正在构建一个ORM访问数据库,并且您希望每个表中的记录来自一个类地图到该表(基于字段,业务规则等),一个可能的使用MetaClass是例如,连接池逻辑,由所有表中的记录的所有类共享。

当你定义甲型时,你可以分类类型,并且可以超越下列魔法方法来插入你的逻辑。

class somemeta(type):
    __new__(mcs, name, bases, clsdict):
      """
  mcs: is the base metaclass, in this case type.
  name: name of the new class, as provided by the user.
  bases: tuple of base classes 
  clsdict: a dictionary containing all methods and attributes defined on class

  you must return a class object by invoking the __new__ constructor on the base metaclass. 
 ie: 
    return type.__call__(mcs, name, bases, clsdict).

  in the following case:

  class foo(baseclass):
        __metaclass__ = somemeta

  an_attr = 12

  def bar(self):
      ...

  @classmethod
  def foo(cls):
      ...

      arguments would be : ( somemeta, "foo", (baseclass, baseofbase,..., object), {"an_attr":12, "bar": <function>, "foo": <bound class method>}

      you can modify any of these values before passing on to type
      """
      return type.__call__(mcs, name, bases, clsdict)


    def __init__(self, name, bases, clsdict):
      """ 
      called after type has been created. unlike in standard classes, __init__ method cannot modify the instance (cls) - and should be used for class validaton.
      """
      pass


    def __prepare__():
        """
        returns a dict or something that can be used as a namespace.
        the type will then attach methods and attributes from class definition to it.

        call order :

        somemeta.__new__ ->  type.__new__ -> type.__init__ -> somemeta.__init__ 
        """
        return dict()

    def mymethod(cls):
        """ works like a classmethod, but for class objects. Also, my method will not be visible to instances of cls.
        """
        pass

无论如何,这两种是最常用的<unk>子,甲板是强大的,上面没有附近和完整的用途列表用于甲板。
