如何在Python中声明常量?

在Java中,我们做:

public static final String CONST_NAME = "Name";

当前回答

这并不完全是常数,但从python 3.7开始,你可以使用如下所示的数据类模块:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Final

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class A():
    a1:Final = 3

a = A()

a.a1 = 4

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FrozenInstanceError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-14-5f7f4efc5bf0> in <module>
----> 1 a.a1 = 4

<string> in __setattr__(self, name, value)

FrozenInstanceError: cannot assign to field 'a1'

其他回答

不幸的是,Python还没有常数,这是耻辱。ES6已经为JavaScript添加了支持常量(https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/const),因为它在任何编程语言中都非常有用。 正如在Python社区的其他回答中所回答的那样,使用约定的用户大写变量作为常量,但它不能防止代码中的任意错误。 如果您愿意,您可能会发现一个有用的单文件解决方案 (参见文档字符串如何使用它)。

优点: 1. 访问整个项目的所有常量 2. 严格控制常数值

缺乏: 1. 不支持自定义类型和'dict'类型

注:

使用Python3.4和Python3.5进行测试(我使用“tox”进行测试) 测试环境:

Python字典是可变的,所以它们似乎不是声明常量的好方法:

>>> constants = {"foo":1, "bar":2}
>>> print constants
{'foo': 1, 'bar': 2}
>>> constants["bar"] = 3
>>> print constants
{'foo': 1, 'bar': 3}

嗯. .尽管这是过时的,让我在这里补充我的2分:-)

class ConstDict(dict):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ConstDict, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        if key in self:
            raise ValueError("Value %s already exists" % (key))
        super(ConstDict, self).__setitem__(key, value)

您可以防止在那里发生任何更新,而不是破坏ValueError。这样做的一个好处是,您可以在程序中动态地添加常数,但一旦设置了常数就不能更改。你也可以在设置常量之前添加任何规则(比如key必须是字符串或小写字符串或大写字符串等)

然而,我不认为在Python中设置常量有任何重要性。没有优化可以像在C中那样发生,因此它是不需要的,我猜。

您可以使用namedtuple作为一种变通方法来有效地创建一个常量,其工作方式与Java中的静态final变量(Java“常量”)相同。作为一种变通方法,它是优雅的。(更优雅的方法是简单地改进Python语言——什么样的语言可以让您重新定义math.pi?——但我跑题了。)

(当我写这篇文章时,我意识到这个问题的另一个答案提到了namedtuple,但我将在这里继续,因为我将展示一种更接近于您在Java中所期望的语法,因为不需要像namedtuple那样创建命名类型。)

跟着你的例子,你会记得在Java中,我们必须在某个类中定义常量;因为你没有提到类名,我们称它为Foo。下面是Java类:

public class Foo {
  public static final String CONST_NAME = "Name";
}

这里是等效的Python。

from collections import namedtuple
Foo = namedtuple('_Foo', 'CONST_NAME')('Name')

我想在这里补充的关键点是,您不需要单独的Foo类型(“匿名命名元组”会很好,尽管这听起来有点矛盾),所以我们将命名元组命名为_Foo,这样它就不会转义到导入模块中。

这里的第二点是,我们立即创建了nametuple的一个实例,称其为Foo;没有必要在单独的步骤中执行此操作(除非您想这样做)。现在你可以做你在Java中可以做的事情:

>>> Foo.CONST_NAME
'Name'

但你不能给它赋值:

>>> Foo.CONST_NAME = 'bar'
…
AttributeError: can't set attribute

确认:我认为我发明了命名元组方法,但后来我看到其他人给出了类似的答案(尽管不那么紧凑)。然后我还注意到Python中的“命名元组”是什么?,这就指出了sys。version_info现在是一个命名元组,所以可能Python标准库早就提出了这个想法。

注意,不幸的是(这仍然是Python),你可以完全删除整个Foo赋值:

>>> Foo = 'bar'

(facepalm)

但至少我们阻止了福星。CONST_NAME值,这比什么都没有好。祝你好运。

我正在尝试用不同的方法在Python中创建一个真正的常量,也许我找到了漂亮的解决方案。

例子:

为常量创建容器

>>> DAYS = Constants(
...     MON=0,
...     TUE=1,
...     WED=2,
...     THU=3,
...     FRI=4,
...     SAT=5,
...     SUN=6
... )   

从容器中获取价值

>>> DAYS.MON
0
>>> DAYS['MON']
0  

用纯python数据结构表示

>>> list(DAYS)
['WED', 'SUN', 'FRI', 'THU', 'MON', 'TUE', 'SAT']
>>> dict(DAYS)
{'WED': 2, 'SUN': 6, 'FRI': 4, 'THU': 3, 'MON': 0, 'TUE': 1, 'SAT': 5}

所有常数都是不可变的

>>> DAYS.MON = 7
...
AttributeError: Immutable attribute

>>> del DAYS.MON 
...
AttributeError: Immutable attribute

仅对常量自动补全

>>> dir(DAYS)
['FRI', 'MON', 'SAT', 'SUN', 'THU', 'TUE', 'WED']

像list.sort那样排序

>>> DAYS.sort(key=lambda (k, v): v, reverse=True)
>>> list(DAYS)
['SUN', 'SAT', 'FRI', 'THU', 'WED', 'TUE', 'MON']

与python2和python3的兼容性
