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

也许pconst库会帮助你(github)。

$ PIP安装pconst

from pconst import const
const.APPLE_PRICE = 100
const.APPLE_PRICE = 200

“APPLE_PRICE”的常量值不可编辑。

其他回答

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'

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……

https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.ndarray.setflags.html

除了上面的两个答案(只使用大写的变量名,或者使用属性使值为只读),我想提到的是,可以使用元类来实现命名常量。我在GitHub提供了一个使用元类的非常简单的解决方案,如果你想让值的类型/名称更有信息,这可能会很有帮助:

>>> from named_constants import Constants
>>> class Colors(Constants):
...     black = 0
...     red = 1
...     white = 15
...
>>> c = Colors.black
>>> c == 0
True
>>> c
Colors.black
>>> c.name()
'black'
>>> Colors(0) is c
True

这是稍微高级一些的Python,但仍然非常容易使用和方便。(该模块有更多的特性,包括常量是只读的,请参阅它的README。)

在各种存储库中也有类似的解决方案,但据我所知,它们要么缺乏我对常量所期望的基本特性之一(比如是常量,或者是任意类型),要么添加了一些深奥的特性,使它们不那么普遍适用。但是YMMV,我很感激你的反馈。: -)

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)。

注:

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

在python中,常量只是一个变量,名称全大写,单词之间用下划线分隔,

e.g

Days_in_week = 7

该值是可变的,即您可以更改它。但既然名字的规则告诉你是常数,你为什么要这么做呢?我是说,这毕竟是你的项目!

这是python中采用的方法。出于同样的原因,没有private关键字。用下划线作为名称的前缀,您就知道它是私有的。代码可以打破规则....就像程序员可以删除private关键字一样。

Python可以添加一个const关键字…但是程序员可以删除关键字,然后如果他们想要更改常量,但为什么要这样做呢?如果你想打破规则,你可以改变规则。但如果名字的意思已经很清楚了,为什么还要费心打破规则呢?

也许在某些单元测试中,对值应用更改是有意义的?看看一周8天会发生什么,尽管在现实世界中,一周的天数是不能改变的。如果语言阻止你做一个例外,如果只有这一个情况,你需要打破规则……然后您将不得不停止将它声明为常量,即使它在应用程序中仍然是常量,并且只有这个测试用例来查看如果它被更改会发生什么。

全大写的名称告诉您它是一个常量。这才是重要的。没有一种语言强制约束代码,无论如何你都可以修改。

这就是python的哲学。
