我的简单解决方案是基于函数参数的默认值。

def getSystemContext(contextObjList=[]):
    if len( contextObjList ) == 0:
        contextObjList.append( Context() )
        pass
    return contextObjList[0]

class Context(object):
    # Anything you want here

辛格尔顿同父异母的兄弟

我完全同意staale的观点，我在这里留下了一个创建单胎同父异母兄弟的例子:

class void:pass
a = void();
a.__class__ = Singleton

即使看起来不像单例，A现在也会报告为与单例属于同一个类。因此，使用复杂类的单例最终依赖于我们没有过多地干扰它们。

因此，我们可以使用更简单的东西，如变量或模块，以达到同样的效果。尽管如此，如果我们想要使用类来明确，并且因为在Python中类是一个对象，所以我们已经有了对象(不是实例，但它会像)。

class Singleton:
    def __new__(cls): raise AssertionError # Singletons can't have instances

如果我们尝试创建一个实例，我们会有一个很好的断言错误，我们可以在派生上存储静态成员，并在运行时对它们进行更改(我喜欢Python)。这个对象和其他同父异母的兄弟一样好(如果你愿意，你仍然可以创建它们)，但是由于简单，它往往会运行得更快。

正如公认的答案所说，最常用的方法是只使用一个模块。

考虑到这一点，下面是一个概念的证明:

def singleton(cls):
    obj = cls()
    # Always return the same object
    cls.__new__ = staticmethod(lambda cls: obj)
    # Disable __init__
    try:
        del cls.__init__
    except AttributeError:
        pass
    return cls

有关__new__的更多详细信息，请参阅Python数据模型。

例子:

@singleton
class Duck(object):
    pass

if Duck() is Duck():
    print "It works!"
else:
    print "It doesn't work!"

注:

为此，您必须使用new-style类(派生自object)。 单例在定义时初始化，而不是在第一次使用时初始化。 这只是一个简单的例子。我从未在产品代码中实际使用过它，也不打算这样做。

模块方法工作得很好。如果我绝对需要一个单例，我更喜欢元类方法。

class Singleton(type):
    def __init__(cls, name, bases, dict):
        super(Singleton, cls).__init__(name, bases, dict)
        cls.instance = None 

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

class MyClass(object):
    __metaclass__ = Singleton

class Singleton(object[,...]):

    staticVar1 = None
    staticVar2 = None

    def __init__(self):
        if self.__class__.staticVar1==None :
            # create class instance variable for instantiation of class
            # assign class instance variable values to class static variables
        else:
            # assign class static variable values to class instance variables

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)
