.．.除了简单地检查调用方法时是否发生错误之外，是否至少有一种简单的方法来检查它是否具有特定的方法

虽然“请求原谅比请求允许更容易”肯定是python的方式，但你可能在寻找:

d={'foo':'bar', 'spam':'eggs'}
if 'get' in dir(d):
    d.get('foo')
# OUT: 'bar'

我相信你想要的是这样的:

一个对象的属性列表

内置函数dir()可以完成这项工作。

摘自Python shell的help(dir)输出:

dir(...) dir([object]) -> list of strings If called without an argument, return the names in the current scope. Else, return an alphabetized list of names comprising (some of) the attributes of the given object, and of attributes reachable from it. If the object supplies a method named __dir__, it will be used; otherwise the default dir() logic is used and returns: for a module object: the module's attributes. for a class object: its attributes, and recursively the attributes of its bases. for any other object: its attributes, its class's attributes, and recursively the attributes of its class's base classes.

例如:

$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> a = "I am a string"
>>>
>>> type(a)
<class 'str'>
>>>
>>> dir(a)
['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__doc__',
'__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__',
'__getnewargs__', '__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__',
'__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__mod__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__',
'__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__',
'__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__',
'_formatter_field_name_split', '_formatter_parser', 'capitalize',
'center', 'count', 'decode', 'encode', 'endswith', 'expandtabs', 'find',
'format', 'index', 'isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isspace',
'istitle', 'isupper', 'join', 'ljust', 'lower', 'lstrip', 'partition',
'replace', 'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rpartition', 'rsplit', 'rstrip',
'split', 'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title',
'translate', 'upper', 'zfill']

这里指出的所有方法的问题是，您不能确定某个方法不存在。

在Python中，您可以通过__getattr__和__getattribute__拦截点调用，从而可以在“运行时”创建方法。

例子:

class MoreMethod(object):
    def some_method(self, x):
        return x
    def __getattr__(self, *args):
        return lambda x: x*2

如果你执行它，你可以调用对象字典中不存在的方法…

>>> o = MoreMethod()
>>> o.some_method(5)
5
>>> dir(o)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__getattr__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', 'some_method']
>>> o.i_dont_care_of_the_name(5)
10

这就是为什么在Python中使用“请求原谅比请求许可更容易”的范例。

打开Bash shell (Ubuntu上使用Ctrl + Alt + T)。在其中启动Python 3 shell。创建一个对象来观察的方法。只需要在后面加一个点，然后按Tab键两次，你就会看到如下内容:

s.__reduce_ex__(     s.isprintable(
s.__repr__(          s.isspace(

对于许多对象，你可以使用这段代码，用你感兴趣的对象替换'object':

object_methods = [method_name for method_name in dir(object)
                  if callable(getattr(object, method_name))]

我发现它在diveintopython.net(现在存档)，应该提供一些进一步的细节!

如果你得到一个AttributeError，你可以用这个代替:

getattr()不允许pandas风格的Python 3.6抽象虚拟子类。这段代码执行与上面相同的操作，并忽略异常。

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame([[10, 20, 30], [100, 200, 300]],
                  columns=['foo', 'bar', 'baz'])
def get_methods(object, spacing=20):
  methodList = []
  for method_name in dir(object):
    try:
        if callable(getattr(object, method_name)):
            methodList.append(str(method_name))
    except Exception:
        methodList.append(str(method_name))
  processFunc = (lambda s: ' '.join(s.split())) or (lambda s: s)
  for method in methodList:
    try:
        print(str(method.ljust(spacing)) + ' ' +
              processFunc(str(getattr(object, method).__doc__)[0:90]))
    except Exception:
        print(method.ljust(spacing) + ' ' + ' getattr() failed')

get_methods(df['foo'])

获取任何对象的方法列表的最简单方法是使用help()命令。

help(object)

它将列出与该对象相关的所有可用/重要方法。

例如:

help(str)
