如何在Python中声明常量?

在Java中,我们做:

public static final String CONST_NAME = "Name";

您可以将一个常量包装在numpy数组中,将其标记为仅写,并始终通过下标0调用它。

import numpy as np

# declare a constant
CONSTANT = 'hello'

# put constant in numpy and make read only
CONSTANT = np.array([CONSTANT])
CONSTANT.flags.writeable = False
# alternatively: CONSTANT.setflags(write=0)

# call our constant using 0 index    
print 'CONSTANT %s' % CONSTANT[0]

# attempt to modify our constant with try/except
new_value = 'goodbye'
try:
    CONSTANT[0] = new_value
except:
    print "cannot change CONSTANT to '%s' it's value '%s' is immutable" % (
        new_value, CONSTANT[0])

# attempt to modify our constant producing ValueError
CONSTANT[0] = new_value



>>>
CONSTANT hello
cannot change CONSTANT to 'goodbye' it's value 'hello' is immutable
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "shuffle_test.py", line 15, in <module>
    CONSTANT[0] = new_value
ValueError: assignment destination is read-only

当然,这只保护numpy的内容,而不是变量“CONSTANT”本身;你仍然可以:

CONSTANT = 'foo'

和CONSTANT会改变,然而,这将很快抛出TypeError第一次在脚本中调用CONSTANT[0]。

尽管……我想如果你在某个时候把它改成

CONSTANT = [1,2,3]

现在你不会再得到TypeError了。嗯……

其他回答

你可以使用StringVar或IntVar等,你的常量是const_val

val = 'Stackoverflow'
const_val = StringVar(val)
const.trace('w', reverse)

def reverse(*args):
    const_val.set(val)

您可以在下一个类的帮助下模拟常量变量。用法示例:

# Const
const = Const().add(two=2, three=3)

print 'const.two: ', const.two
print 'const.three: ', const.three

const.add(four=4)

print 'const.four: ', const.four

#const.four = 5 # a error here: four is a constant

const.add(six=6)

print 'const.six: ', const.six

const2 = Const().add(five=5) # creating a new namespace with Const()
print 'const2.five: ', const2.five
#print 'const2.four: ', const2.four # a error here: four does not exist in const2 namespace

const2.add(five=26)

当您希望启动一个新的常量名称空间时,请调用构造函数。注意,当Martelli的const类没有被修改时,这个类受到了保护,不受意外修改序列类型常量的影响。

来源如下。

from copy import copy

class Const(object):
"A class to create objects with constant fields."

def __init__(self):
    object.__setattr__(self, '_names', [])


def add(self, **nameVals):
    for name, val in nameVals.iteritems():          
        if hasattr(self, name):
            raise ConstError('A field with a name \'%s\' is already exist in Const class.' % name)

        setattr(self, name, copy(val)) # set up getter

        self._names.append(name)

    return self


def __setattr__(self, name, val):
    if name in self._names:
        raise ConstError('You cannot change a value of a stored constant.')

    object.__setattr__(self, name, val)

这里有一个技巧,如果你想要常量,而不关心它们的值:

只定义空类。

e.g:

class RED: 
    pass
class BLUE: 
    pass

我忍不住要提供我自己的极简元类实现(这可能是前面元类答案的变体)。

常量存储在容器类中(不需要实例化)。值只能设置一次,但设置后不能更改(或删除)。

就我个人而言,我目前还没有这个用例,但这是一个有趣的练习。

class MetaConstant(type):
    ''' Metaclass that allows underlying class to store constants at class-level (subclass instance not needed).
        Non-existent attributes of underlying class (constants) can be set initially, but cannot be changed or deleted.
    '''

    def __setattr__(klass, attr, value):
        'If attribute (constant) doesn\'t exist, set value. If attribute exists, raise AttributeError.'
        if hasattr(klass, attr):
            raise AttributeError(f'Can\'t change the value of the constant {klass.__name__}.{attr} to {value}'
                                 f' (the value of {klass.__name__}.{attr} is already set to'
                                 f' {getattr(klass, attr)}).')
        super().__setattr__(attr, value)

    def __delattr__(klass, attr):
        if hasattr(klass, attr):
            raise AttributeError(f'Can\'t delete constant {klass.__name__}.{attr}'
                                 f' (set to {getattr(klass, attr)}).')


class Constants(metaclass=MetaConstant):
    'Container class for constants. No instantiation required.'
    #pass               # uncomment if no constants set upon class creation
    B = 'Six'           # sets Constants.B to 'Six'


Constants.B = 6         # AttributeError
del Constants.B         # AttributeError

Constants.A = 'Five'    # sets Constants.A to 'Five'
Constants.A = 5         # AttributeError
del Constants.A         # AttributeError

请随意提出改进建议。
