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

当班级声明执行时,Python 首先将班级声明的身体作为一个正常的代码块执行。 结果的名称空间(dict)保留了班级的属性. 金属阶级通过观察班级的基层(金属阶级继承),在 __金属阶级__属性的班级(如果有)或 __金属阶级__全球变量来确定。

def make_hook(f):
    """Decorator to turn 'foo' method into '__foo__'"""
    f.is_hook = 1
    return f

class MyType(type):
    def __new__(mcls, name, bases, attrs):

        if name.startswith('None'):
            return None

        # Go over attributes and see if they should be renamed.
        newattrs = {}
        for attrname, attrvalue in attrs.iteritems():
            if getattr(attrvalue, 'is_hook', 0):
                newattrs['__%s__' % attrname] = attrvalue
            else:
                newattrs[attrname] = attrvalue

        return super(MyType, mcls).__new__(mcls, name, bases, newattrs)

    def __init__(self, name, bases, attrs):
        super(MyType, self).__init__(name, bases, attrs)

        # classregistry.register(self, self.interfaces)
        print "Would register class %s now." % self

    def __add__(self, other):
        class AutoClass(self, other):
            pass
        return AutoClass
        # Alternatively, to autogenerate the classname as well as the class:
        # return type(self.__name__ + other.__name__, (self, other), {})

    def unregister(self):
        # classregistry.unregister(self)
        print "Would unregister class %s now." % self

class MyObject:
    __metaclass__ = MyType


class NoneSample(MyObject):
    pass

# Will print "NoneType None"
print type(NoneSample), repr(NoneSample)

class Example(MyObject):
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value
    @make_hook
    def add(self, other):
        return self.__class__(self.value + other.value)

# Will unregister the class
Example.unregister()

inst = Example(10)
# Will fail with an AttributeError
#inst.unregister()

print inst + inst
class Sibling(MyObject):
    pass

ExampleSibling = Example + Sibling
# ExampleSibling is now a subclass of both Example and Sibling (with no
# content of its own) although it will believe it's called 'AutoClass'
print ExampleSibling
print ExampleSibling.__mro__

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。

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%。

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。

什么是Metaclasses?你用它们用于什么?

>>> Class(...)
instance

>>> Metaclass(...)
Class

>>> type('Foo', (object,), {}) # requires a name, bases, and a namespace
<class '__main__.Foo'>

每当你创建一个类时,你都会使用一个类型:

class Foo(object): 
    'demo'

>>> Foo
<class '__main__.Foo'>
>>> isinstance(Foo, type), isinstance(Foo, object)
(True, True)

name = 'Foo'
bases = (object,)
namespace = {'__doc__': 'demo'}
Foo = type(name, bases, namespace)

>>> Foo.__dict__
dict_proxy({'__dict__': <attribute '__dict__' of 'Foo' objects>, 
'__module__': '__main__', '__weakref__': <attribute '__weakref__' 
of 'Foo' objects>, '__doc__': 'demo'})

(在 __dict__: __module__ 类的内容上有一个侧笔记,因为类必须知道它们在哪里定义,而 __dict__ 和 __weakref__ 是因为我们不定义 __slots__ - 如果我们定义 __slots__ 我们会在例子中节省一些空间,因为我们可以通过排除它们来排除 __dict__ 和 __weakref__。

>>> Baz = type('Bar', (object,), {'__doc__': 'demo', '__slots__': ()})
>>> Baz.__dict__
mappingproxy({'__doc__': 'demo', '__slots__': (), '__module__': '__main__'})

我们可以像任何其他类定义一样扩展类型:

>>> Foo
<class '__main__.Foo'>

class Type(type):
    def __repr__(cls):
        """
        >>> Baz
        Type('Baz', (Foo, Bar,), {'__module__': '__main__', '__doc__': None})
        >>> eval(repr(Baz))
        Type('Baz', (Foo, Bar,), {'__module__': '__main__', '__doc__': None})
        """
        metaname = type(cls).__name__
        name = cls.__name__
        parents = ', '.join(b.__name__ for b in cls.__bases__)
        if parents:
            parents += ','
        namespace = ', '.join(': '.join(
          (repr(k), repr(v) if not isinstance(v, type) else v.__name__))
               for k, v in cls.__dict__.items())
        return '{0}(\'{1}\', ({2}), {{{3}}})'.format(metaname, name, parents, namespace)
    def __eq__(cls, other):
        """
        >>> Baz == eval(repr(Baz))
        True            
        """
        return (cls.__name__, cls.__bases__, cls.__dict__) == (
                other.__name__, other.__bases__, other.__dict__)

>>> class Bar(object): pass
>>> Baz = Type('Baz', (Foo, Bar,), {'__module__': '__main__', '__doc__': None})
>>> Baz
Type('Baz', (Foo, Bar,), {'__module__': '__main__', '__doc__': None})

但是,与 eval(repr(Class))的进一步检查是不可能的(因为函数将是相当不可能从他们的默认 __repr__ 的 eval 。

from collections import OrderedDict

class OrderedType(Type):
    @classmethod
    def __prepare__(metacls, name, bases, **kwargs):
        return OrderedDict()
    def __new__(cls, name, bases, namespace, **kwargs):
        result = Type.__new__(cls, name, bases, dict(namespace))
        result.members = tuple(namespace)
        return result

class OrderedMethodsObject(object, metaclass=OrderedType):
    def method1(self): pass
    def method2(self): pass
    def method3(self): pass
    def method4(self): pass

>>> OrderedMethodsObject.members
('__module__', '__qualname__', 'method1', 'method2', 'method3', 'method4')

>>> inspect.getmro(OrderedType)
(<class '__main__.OrderedType'>, <class '__main__.Type'>, <class 'type'>, <class 'object'>)

而且它大约有正确的回报(除非我们能找到代表我们的功能的方式,否则我们就不能再评估):

>>> OrderedMethodsObject
OrderedType('OrderedMethodsObject', (object,), {'method1': <function OrderedMethodsObject.method1 at 0x0000000002DB01E0>, 'members': ('__module__', '__qualname__', 'method1', 'method2', 'method3', 'method4'), 'method3': <function OrderedMet
hodsObject.method3 at 0x0000000002DB02F0>, 'method2': <function OrderedMethodsObject.method2 at 0x0000000002DB0268>, '__module__': '__main__', '__weakref__': <attribute '__weakref__' of 'OrderedMethodsObject' objects>, '__doc__': None, '__d
ict__': <attribute '__dict__' of 'OrderedMethodsObject' objects>, 'method4': <function OrderedMethodsObject.method4 at 0x0000000002DB0378>})
