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

这里是我创建的一些习语的集合,试图改进一些已有的答案。

我知道常量的使用不是python式的,你不应该在家里这样做!

然而,Python是如此动态的语言!这个论坛展示了如何创建看起来和感觉起来像常量的构造。这个答案的主要目的是探索语言可以表达什么。

请不要对我太苛刻。

为了了解更多细节,我写了一篇关于这些习语的博客。

在这篇文章中,我将调用一个常量变量来引用一个常量值(不可变或其他)。此外,我说,当一个变量引用了一个客户机代码无法更新的可变对象时,它的值就被冻结了。

常量空间(SpaceConstants)

这个习惯用法创建了一个看起来像常量变量的名称空间(又名SpaceConstants)。它是Alex Martelli对代码片段的修改,以避免使用模块对象。具体地说,这种修改使用了我称之为类工厂的东西,因为在SpaceConstants函数中定义了一个名为SpaceConstants的类,并返回了它的一个实例。

我在stackoverflow和一篇博客文章中探讨了如何使用类工厂在Python中实现基于策略的设计。

def SpaceConstants():
    def setattr(self, name, value):
        if hasattr(self, name):
            raise AttributeError(
                "Cannot reassign members"
            )
        self.__dict__[name] = value
    cls = type('SpaceConstants', (), {
        '__setattr__': setattr
    })
    return cls()

sc = SpaceConstants()

print(sc.x) # raise "AttributeError: 'SpaceConstants' object has no attribute 'x'"
sc.x = 2 # bind attribute x
print(sc.x) # print "2"
sc.x = 3 # raise "AttributeError: Cannot reassign members"
sc.y = {'name': 'y', 'value': 2} # bind attribute y
print(sc.y) # print "{'name': 'y', 'value': 2}"
sc.y['name'] = 'yprime' # mutable object can be changed
print(sc.y) # print "{'name': 'yprime', 'value': 2}"
sc.y = {} # raise "AttributeError: Cannot reassign members"

一个冻结值的空间(SpaceFrozenValues)

下一个习惯用法是对SpaceConstants的修改,其中冻结了引用的可变对象。这个实现利用了setattr和getattr函数之间的共享闭包。可变对象的值由函数共享闭包内的变量缓存定义复制和引用。它形成了我所说的可变对象的闭包保护副本。

在使用这种习惯用法时必须小心,因为getattr通过执行深度复制来返回缓存的值。该操作可能对大型对象的性能产生重大影响!

from copy import deepcopy

def SpaceFrozenValues():
    cache = {}
    def setattr(self, name, value):
        nonlocal cache
        if name in cache:
            raise AttributeError(
                "Cannot reassign members"
            )
        cache[name] = deepcopy(value)
    def getattr(self, name):
        nonlocal cache
        if name not in cache:
            raise AttributeError(
                "Object has no attribute '{}'".format(name)
            )
        return deepcopy(cache[name])
    cls = type('SpaceFrozenValues', (),{
        '__getattr__': getattr,
        '__setattr__': setattr
    })
    return cls()

fv = SpaceFrozenValues()
print(fv.x) # AttributeError: Object has no attribute 'x'
fv.x = 2 # bind attribute x
print(fv.x) # print "2"
fv.x = 3 # raise "AttributeError: Cannot reassign members"
fv.y = {'name': 'y', 'value': 2} # bind attribute y
print(fv.y) # print "{'name': 'y', 'value': 2}"
fv.y['name'] = 'yprime' # you can try to change mutable objects
print(fv.y) # print "{'name': 'y', 'value': 2}"
fv.y = {} # raise "AttributeError: Cannot reassign members"

常量空间(ConstantSpace)

这个习惯用法是常量变量或ConstantSpace的不可变名称空间。它结合了Jon Betts在stackoverflow中给出的非常简单的答案和类工厂。

def ConstantSpace(**args):
    args['__slots__'] = ()
    cls = type('ConstantSpace', (), args)
    return cls()

cs = ConstantSpace(
    x = 2,
    y = {'name': 'y', 'value': 2}
)

print(cs.x) # print "2"
cs.x = 3 # raise "AttributeError: 'ConstantSpace' object attribute 'x' is read-only"
print(cs.y) # print "{'name': 'y', 'value': 2}"
cs.y['name'] = 'yprime' # mutable object can be changed
print(cs.y) # print "{'name': 'yprime', 'value': 2}"
cs.y = {} # raise "AttributeError: 'ConstantSpace' object attribute 'x' is read-only"
cs.z = 3 # raise "AttributeError: 'ConstantSpace' object has no attribute 'z'"

冰冻空间(FrozenSpace)

这个习惯用法是冻结变量或FrozenSpace的不可变名称空间。它通过关闭生成的FrozenSpace类使每个变量成为受保护的属性,从前面的模式派生而来。

from copy import deepcopy

def FreezeProperty(value):
    cache = deepcopy(value)
    return property(
        lambda self: deepcopy(cache)
    )

def FrozenSpace(**args):
    args = {k: FreezeProperty(v) for k, v in args.items()}
    args['__slots__'] = ()
    cls = type('FrozenSpace', (), args)
    return cls()

fs = FrozenSpace(
    x = 2,
    y = {'name': 'y', 'value': 2}
)

print(fs.x) # print "2"
fs.x = 3 # raise "AttributeError: 'FrozenSpace' object attribute 'x' is read-only"
print(fs.y) # print "{'name': 'y', 'value': 2}"
fs.y['name'] = 'yprime' # try to change mutable object
print(fs.y) # print "{'name': 'y', 'value': 2}"
fs.y = {} # raise "AttributeError: 'FrozenSpace' object attribute 'x' is read-only"
fs.z = 3 # raise "AttributeError: 'FrozenSpace' object has no attribute 'z'"

其他回答

在Python中创建常量的更好方法是从 优秀的attrs库,这很有帮助 Python程序员创建类时不使用样板文件。的 Short-con package也有同样的功能 常量,提供一个方便的包装器 attr.make_class。[声明:我是short-con的作者。]

值可以通过dict或kwargs显式声明 例子也有同样的作用。常量()函数支持的所有特性 库和cons()是简单使用kwarg的辅助程序。

from short_con import constants, cons

Pieces = constants('Pieces', dict(king = 0, queen = 9, rook = 5, bishop = 3, knight = 3, pawn = 1))
Pieces = cons('Pieces', king = 0, queen = 9, rook = 5, bishop = 3, knight = 3, pawn = 1)

的值相同(或可以从其导出)的情况 属性名,使用更加紧凑。只提供名称作为 空格分隔的字符串、列表或元组。

NAMES = 'KING QUEEN ROOK BISHOP KNIGHT PAWN'
xs = NAMES.split()

Pieces = constants('Pieces', NAMES)      # All of these do the same thing.
Pieces = constants('Pieces', xs)
Pieces = constants('Pieces', tuple(xs))

基于名称的用法支持一些风格约定:大写或 小写的属性名,以及枚举样式的值。

方法创建的常量不同,底层值可以直接访问 内置枚举库:

Pieces.QUEEN        # short-con usage
Pieces.QUEEN.value  # enum library usage

对象直接可迭代,可转换为其他集合:

for name, value in Pieces:
    print(name, value)

d = dict(Pieces)
tups = list(Pieces)

元组在技术上属于常量,因为如果您试图更改其中一个值,元组将引发错误。如果你想声明一个只有一个值的元组,那么在它唯一的值后面加一个逗号,就像这样:

my_tuple = (0 """Or any other value""",)

要检查这个变量的值,使用类似这样的方法:

if my_tuple[0] == 0:
    #Code goes here

如果您试图更改此值,将引发一个错误。

在Python中,常量是不存在的,但是你可以通过在变量名的开头添加CONST_并在注释中声明它是一个常量来表明变量是一个常量并且不能被改变:

myVariable = 0
CONST_daysInWeek = 7    # This is a constant - do not change its value.   
CONSTANT_daysInMonth = 30 # This is also a constant - do not change this value.

或者,你可以创建一个像常量一样的函数:

def CONST_daysInWeek():
    return 7;

你可以通过collections.namedtuple和itertools来实现:

import collections
import itertools
def Constants(Name, *Args, **Kwargs):
  t = collections.namedtuple(Name, itertools.chain(Args, Kwargs.keys()))
  return t(*itertools.chain(Args, Kwargs.values()))

>>> myConstants = Constants('MyConstants', 'One', 'Two', Three = 'Four')
>>> print myConstants.One
One
>>> print myConstants.Two
Two
>>> print myConstants.Three
Four
>>> myConstants.One = 'Two'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: can't set attribute

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)。
