什么是甲状腺?它们用于什么?
当前回答
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

甲特克拉斯(甲特克拉斯)是一类,讲述了(某些)其他类应该是如何形成的。
这是一个案例,我看到甲状腺作为解决我的问题:我有一个真正复杂的问题,可能可以是不同的解决,但我选择用甲状腺解决它。 由于复杂性,这是我写的几个模块之一,在模块上的评论超过了编写的代码的数量。

# This requires some explaining. The point of this metaclass excercise is to
# create a static abstract class that is in one way or another, dormant until
# queried. I experimented with creating a singlton on import, but that did
# not quite behave how I wanted it to. See now here, we are creating a class
# called GsyncOptions, that on import, will do nothing except state that its
# class creator is GsyncOptionsType. This means, docopt doesn't parse any
# of the help document, nor does it start processing command line options.
# So importing this module becomes really efficient. The complicated bit
# comes from requiring the GsyncOptions class to be static. By that, I mean
# any property on it, may or may not exist, since they are not statically
# defined; so I can't simply just define the class with a whole bunch of
# properties that are @property @staticmethods.
#
# So here's how it works:
#
# Executing 'from libgsync.options import GsyncOptions' does nothing more
# than load up this module, define the Type and the Class and import them
# into the callers namespace. Simple.
#
# Invoking 'GsyncOptions.debug' for the first time, or any other property
# causes the __metaclass__ __getattr__ method to be called, since the class
# is not instantiated as a class instance yet. The __getattr__ method on
# the type then initialises the class (GsyncOptions) via the __initialiseClass
# method. This is the first and only time the class will actually have its
# dictionary statically populated. The docopt module is invoked to parse the
# usage document and generate command line options from it. These are then
# paired with their defaults and what's in sys.argv. After all that, we
# setup some dynamic properties that could not be defined by their name in
# the usage, before everything is then transplanted onto the actual class
# object (or static class GsyncOptions).
#
# Another piece of magic, is to allow command line options to be set in
# in their native form and be translated into argparse style properties.
#
# Finally, the GsyncListOptions class is actually where the options are
# stored. This only acts as a mechanism for storing options as lists, to
# allow aggregation of duplicate options or options that can be specified
# multiple times. The __getattr__ call hides this by default, returning the
# last item in a property's list. However, if the entire list is required,
# calling the 'list()' method on the GsyncOptions class, returns a reference
# to the GsyncListOptions class, which contains all of the same properties
# but as lists and without the duplication of having them as both lists and
# static singlton values.
#
# So this actually means that GsyncOptions is actually a static proxy class...
#
# ...And all this is neatly hidden within a closure for safe keeping.
def GetGsyncOptionsType():
class GsyncListOptions(object):
__initialised = False
class GsyncOptionsType(type):

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。
请注意,在Python 3.6中,引入了一个新的Dunder方法 __init_subclass__(cls, **kwargs),以取代许多常见的使用案例为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
