我最近读了关于getattr()函数的文章。问题是我仍然不能理解它的用法。我对getattr()的唯一理解是,getattr(li,“pop”)与调用li.pop相同。

我不理解书中提到如何使用它来获取函数的引用,而直到运行时才知道它的名称。也许这就是我在编程方面的新手。谁能解释一下这个问题?我何时以及如何使用它?


当前回答

getattr的一个非常常见的用例是将数据映射到函数。

例如,在Django或Pylons这样的web框架中,getattr可以直接将web请求的URL映射到将要处理它的函数。例如,如果你看一下Pylons的路由,你会发现(至少在默认情况下)它分割了一个请求的URL,比如:

http://www.example.com/customers/list

分为“客户”和“列表”。然后它搜索名为CustomerController的控制器类。假设它找到该类,它创建该类的实例,然后使用getattr获取其list方法。然后调用该方法,将请求作为参数传递给它。

一旦你掌握了这个思想,扩展web应用程序的功能就变得非常容易:只需向控制器类添加新的方法,然后在页面中创建链接,为这些方法使用适当的url。所有这些都是由getattr实现的。

我认为这个例子是不言自明的。它运行第一个参数的方法,其名称在第二个参数中给出。

class MyClass:
   def __init__(self):
      pass
   def MyMethod(self):
      print("Method ran")

# Create an object
object = MyClass()
# Get all the methods of a class
method_list = [func for func in dir(MyClass) if callable(getattr(MyClass, func))]
# You can use any of the methods in method_list
# "MyMethod" is the one we want to use right now

# This is the same as running "object.MyMethod()"
getattr(object,'MyMethod')()

它也从https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/methods/built-in/getattr澄清

class Person:
    age = 23
    name = "Adam"

person = Person()
print('The age is:', getattr(person, "age"))
print('The age is:', person.age)

年龄:23岁

年龄:23岁

class Person:
    age = 23
    name = "Adam"

person = Person()

# when default value is provided
print('The sex is:', getattr(person, 'sex', 'Male'))

# when no default value is provided
print('The sex is:', getattr(person, 'sex'))

性别:男性

AttributeError: 'Person'对象没有属性'sex'

下面是一个快速而简单的示例,演示了一个类如何根据使用getattr()执行的操作系统来触发save方法的不同版本。

import os

class Log(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.os = os.name
    def __getattr__(self, name):
        """ look for a 'save' attribute, or just 
          return whatever attribute was specified """
        if name == 'save':
            try:
                # try to dynamically return a save 
                # method appropriate for the user's system
                return getattr(self, self.os)
            except:
                # bail and try to return 
                # a default save method
                return getattr(self, '_save')
        else:
            return getattr(self, name)

    # each of these methods could have save logic specific to 
    # the system on which the script is executed
    def posix(self): print 'saving on a posix machine'
    def nt(self): print 'saving on an nt machine'
    def os2(self): print 'saving on an os2 machine'
    def ce(self): print 'saving on a ce machine'
    def java(self): print 'saving on a java machine'
    def riscos(self): print 'saving on a riscos machine'
    def _save(self): print 'saving on an unknown operating system'

    def which_os(self): print os.name

现在让我们在一个例子中使用这个类:

logger = Log()

# Now you can do one of two things:
save_func = logger.save
# and execute it, or pass it along 
# somewhere else as 1st class:
save_func()

# or you can just call it directly:
logger.save()

# other attributes will hit the else 
# statement and still work as expected
logger.which_os()

getattr()在Python中实现switch语句的另一种用法。它使用两个反射来获取大小写类型。

import sys

class SwitchStatement(object):
    """ a class to implement switch statement and a way to show how to use gettattr in Pythion"""

    def case_1(self):
        return "value for case_1"

    def case_2(self):
        return "value for case_2"

    def case_3(self):
        return "value for case_3"

    def case_4(self):
        return "value for case_4"

    def case_value(self, case_type=1):
        """This is the main dispatchmethod, that uses gettattr"""
        case_method = 'case_' + str(case_type)
        # fetch the relevant method name
        # Get the method from 'self'. Default to a lambda.
        method = getattr(self, case_method, lambda: "Invalid case type")
        # Call the method as we return it
        return method()

def main(_):
    switch = SwitchStatement()
    print swtich.case_value(_)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main(int(sys.argv[1]))
# getattr

class hithere():

    def french(self):
        print 'bonjour'

    def english(self):
        print 'hello'

    def german(self):
        print 'hallo'

    def czech(self):
        print 'ahoj'

    def noidea(self):
        print 'unknown language'


def dispatch(language):
    try:
        getattr(hithere(),language)()
    except:
        getattr(hithere(),'noidea')()
        # note, do better error handling than this

dispatch('french')
dispatch('english')
dispatch('german')
dispatch('czech')
dispatch('spanish')
