这是我自己对单例对象的实现。你所要做的就是布置课堂;为了获得单例，你必须使用Instance方法。这里有一个例子:

@Singleton
class Foo:
   def __init__(self):
       print 'Foo created'

f = Foo() # Error, this isn't how you get the instance of a singleton

f = Foo.instance() # Good. Being explicit is in line with the Python Zen
g = Foo.instance() # Returns already created instance

print f is g # True

下面是代码:

class Singleton:
    """
    A non-thread-safe helper class to ease implementing singletons.
    This should be used as a decorator -- not a metaclass -- to the
    class that should be a singleton.

    The decorated class can define one `__init__` function that
    takes only the `self` argument. Also, the decorated class cannot be
    inherited from. Other than that, there are no restrictions that apply
    to the decorated class.

    To get the singleton instance, use the `instance` method. Trying
    to use `__call__` will result in a `TypeError` being raised.

    """

    def __init__(self, decorated):
        self._decorated = decorated

    def instance(self):
        """
        Returns the singleton instance. Upon its first call, it creates a
        new instance of the decorated class and calls its `__init__` method.
        On all subsequent calls, the already created instance is returned.

        """
        try:
            return self._instance
        except AttributeError:
            self._instance = self._decorated()
            return self._instance

    def __call__(self):
        raise TypeError('Singletons must be accessed through `instance()`.')

    def __instancecheck__(self, inst):
        return isinstance(inst, self._decorated)

如果你想继续装饰(注释)类，创建一个单例装饰器(又名注释)是一种优雅的方式。然后将@singleton放在类定义之前。

def singleton(cls):
    instances = {}
    def getinstance():
        if cls not in instances:
            instances[cls] = cls()
        return instances[cls]
    return getinstance

@singleton
class MyClass:
    ...

有一次我用Python写了一个单例，我使用了一个类，其中所有成员函数都有classmethod装饰器。

class Foo:
    x = 1
  
    @classmethod
    def increment(cls, y=1):
        cls.x += y

如果你不想要上面的基于元类的解决方案，并且你不喜欢简单的基于函数装饰器的方法(例如，因为在这种情况下，单例类上的静态方法将不起作用)，这种妥协是可行的:

class singleton(object):
  """Singleton decorator."""

  def __init__(self, cls):
      self.__dict__['cls'] = cls

  instances = {}

  def __call__(self):
      if self.cls not in self.instances:
          self.instances[self.cls] = self.cls()
      return self.instances[self.cls]

  def __getattr__(self, attr):
      return getattr(self.__dict__['cls'], attr)

  def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
      return setattr(self.__dict__['cls'], attr, value)

我对此非常不确定，但我的项目使用'惯例单例'(不是强制单例)，也就是说，如果我有一个名为DataController的类，我在同一个模块中定义这个:

_data_controller = None
def GetDataController():
    global _data_controller
    if _data_controller is None:
        _data_controller = DataController()
    return _data_controller

它并不优雅，因为它足足有六行。但是我所有的单例都使用这个模式，而且它至少是非常显式的(这是python的)。

作为Python的新手，我不确定最常见的习语是什么，但我能想到的最简单的事情就是使用模块而不是类。类中的实例方法变成了模块中的函数，任何数据都变成了模块中的变量，而不是类的成员。我怀疑这是解决人们使用单例对象的问题的python方法。

如果你真的想要一个单例类，有一个合理的实现描述在谷歌的第一个点击“Python singleton”，具体地说:

class Singleton:
    __single = None
    def __init__( self ):
        if Singleton.__single:
            raise Singleton.__single
        Singleton.__single = self

这似乎奏效了。
