类型(obj)函数会给你一个对象的类型。

一个阶级的类型( )是它的甲型阶级。

使用甲状腺:

class Foo(object):
    __metaclass__ = MyMetaClass

一个类的类是一个类的类 - 一个类的身体是转移到一个类的论点,它被用来构建一个类。

在这里,你可以阅读如何使用金属玻璃来自定义课堂建筑。

Metaclasses 是做“类”的工作的秘密酱油,新风格对象的默认 metaclass 被称为“类型”。

class type(object)
  |  type(object) -> the object's type
  |  type(name, bases, dict) -> a new type

Metaclasses 取 3 args. 'name', 'bases' 和 'dict'

查找这个例子类定义中的名称、基础和字符号来源于哪里。

class ThisIsTheName(Bases, Are, Here):
    All_the_code_here
    def doesIs(create, a):
        dict

def test_metaclass(name, bases, dict):
    print 'The Class Name is', name
    print 'The Class Bases are', bases
    print 'The dict has', len(dict), 'elems, the keys are', dict.keys()

    return "yellow"

class TestName(object, None, int, 1):
    __metaclass__ = test_metaclass
    foo = 1
    def baz(self, arr):
        pass

print 'TestName = ', repr(TestName)

# output => 
The Class Name is TestName
The Class Bases are (<type 'object'>, None, <type 'int'>, 1)
The dict has 4 elems, the keys are ['baz', '__module__', 'foo', '__metaclass__']
TestName =  'yellow'

现在,一个实际上意味着什么的例子,这将自动使列表中的变量“属性”设置在课堂上,并设置为无。

def init_attributes(name, bases, dict):
    if 'attributes' in dict:
        for attr in dict['attributes']:
            dict[attr] = None

    return type(name, bases, dict)

class Initialised(object):
    __metaclass__ = init_attributes
    attributes = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']

print 'foo =>', Initialised.foo
# output=>
foo => None

请注意,启动者获得的魔法行为是通过拥有金属类的 init_属性而没有转移到启动者的子类。

这里是一个更具体的例子,显示如何可以创建一个在创建一个类时执行一个行动的甲型类的“类型”。

class MetaSingleton(type):
    instance = None
    def __call__(cls, *args, **kw):
        if cls.instance is None:
            cls.instance = super(MetaSingleton, cls).__call__(*args, **kw)
        return cls.instance

class Foo(object):
    __metaclass__ = MetaSingleton

a = Foo()
b = Foo()
assert a is b

Python 3 更新

在一个甲状腺中,有(目前)两个关键方法:

__prepare__ 允许您提供自定义地图(如 OrderedDict)作为名称空间使用,而类正在创建。

__new__ 负责最终类的实际创建/修改。

一个色彩色彩,不做任何东西 - 额外的金属类会喜欢:

class Meta(type):

    def __prepare__(metaclass, cls, bases):
        return dict()

    def __new__(metacls, cls, bases, clsdict):
        return super().__new__(metacls, cls, bases, clsdict)

一个简单的例子:

说你想要一些简单的验证代码在你的属性上运行 - 因为它必须总是一个 int 或 str. 没有一个 metaclass,你的类会看起来像:

class Person:
    weight = ValidateType('weight', int)
    age = ValidateType('age', int)
    name = ValidateType('name', str)

正如你可以看到的那样,你必须重复属性的名称两次,这使得类型与刺激的错误一起可能。

一个简单的甲状腺可以解决这个问题:

class Person(metaclass=Validator):
    weight = ValidateType(int)
    age = ValidateType(int)
    name = ValidateType(str)

class Validator(type):
    def __new__(metacls, cls, bases, clsdict):
        # search clsdict looking for ValidateType descriptors
        for name, attr in clsdict.items():
            if isinstance(attr, ValidateType):
                attr.name = name
                attr.attr = '_' + name
        # create final class and return it
        return super().__new__(metacls, cls, bases, clsdict)

一个样本运行:

p = Person()
p.weight = 9
print(p.weight)
p.weight = '9'

生产:

9
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "simple_meta.py", line 36, in <module>
    p.weight = '9'
  File "simple_meta.py", line 24, in __set__
    (self.name, self.type, value))
TypeError: weight must be of type(s) <class 'int'> (got '9')

注意:这个例子是简单的,它也可能已经完成了一个类装饰师,但假设一个真正的金属玻璃会做得更多。

class ValidateType:
    def __init__(self, type):
        self.name = None  # will be set by metaclass
        self.attr = None  # will be set by metaclass
        self.type = type
    def __get__(self, inst, cls):
        if inst is None:
            return self
        else:
            return inst.__dict__[self.attr]
    def __set__(self, inst, value):
        if not isinstance(value, self.type):
            raise TypeError('%s must be of type(s) %s (got %r)' %
                    (self.name, self.type, value))
        else:
            inst.__dict__[self.attr] = value

型()函数可以返回对象的类型或创建一个新的类型,

例如,我们可以使用类()函数创建一个 Hi 类,并且不需要使用类 Hi(对象):

def func(self, name='mike'):
    print('Hi, %s.' % name)

Hi = type('Hi', (object,), dict(hi=func))
h = Hi()
h.hi()
Hi, mike.

type(Hi)
type

type(h)
__main__.Hi

除了使用类()以动态创建类,您还可以控制类的创建行为,并使用甲塔克拉斯。

根据 Python 对象模型,类是对象,所以类必须是另一个特定的类的例子. 默认情况下, Python 类是类类类的例子. 也就是说,类是大多数内置类的甲型类和用户定义类的甲型类。

class ListMetaclass(type):
    def __new__(cls, name, bases, attrs):
        attrs['add'] = lambda self, value: self.append(value)
        return type.__new__(cls, name, bases, attrs)

class CustomList(list, metaclass=ListMetaclass):
    pass

lst = CustomList()
lst.add('custom_list_1')
lst.add('custom_list_2')

lst
['custom_list_1', 'custom_list_2']

魔法将有效,当我们通过关键词论点在Metaclass,它指示Python翻译器通过ListMetaclass创建CustomList。新(),在此时,我们可以修改类定义,例如,并添加一个新的方法,然后返回修订的定义。

在 Python 或任何其他语言中,我们对每个变量或对象都有一个类型. 在 Python 中,我们可以使用 Type() 函数来获得任何类型(变量、对象等)。

通过在课堂定义中的 meta 类关键词,我们可以自定义课堂创建过程。

class meta(type):
    pass
class baseclass(metaclass=meta): # This is Mestaclass
    pass
class derivedclass(baseclass):
    pass
print(type(meta))
print(type(baseclass))
print(type(derivedclass))

在定义新类时,如果没有定义的甲型,则使用默认类型甲型;如果一个甲型不是类型(例)的对象(例),则在这种情况下,它直接用作甲型。

# 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
