虽然我从来都不需要这样做,但我突然意识到用Python创建一个不可变对象可能有点棘手。你不能只是覆盖__setattr__,因为这样你甚至不能在__init__中设置属性。子类化一个元组是一个有效的技巧:

class Immutable(tuple):
    
    def __new__(cls, a, b):
        return tuple.__new__(cls, (a, b))

    @property
    def a(self):
        return self[0]
        
    @property
    def b(self):
        return self[1]

    def __str__(self):
        return "<Immutable {0}, {1}>".format(self.a, self.b)
    
    def __setattr__(self, *ignored):
        raise NotImplementedError

    def __delattr__(self, *ignored):
        raise NotImplementedError

但是你可以通过self[0]和self[1]访问a和b变量,这很烦人。

这在Pure Python中可行吗?如果不是,我该如何用C扩展来做呢?

(只能在python3中工作的答案是可以接受的)。

更新:

从Python 3.7开始,要使用的方法是使用@dataclass装饰器,参见最新接受的答案。


当前回答

继承自以下Immutable类的类,在它们的__init__方法执行完成后,它们的实例也是不可变的。正如其他人指出的那样,因为它是纯python,所以没有什么可以阻止某人使用来自基对象和类型的特殊方法的突变,但这足以阻止任何人意外地突变类/实例。

它通过用元类劫持类创建过程来工作。

其他回答

所以,我在写python 3的相关内容:

I)借助数据类装饰器并设置frozen=True。 我们可以在python中创建不可变对象。

为此需要从data classes lib导入data class,并需要设置frozen=True

ex.

从数据类导入数据类

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Location:
    name: str
    longitude: float = 0.0
    latitude: float = 0.0

o/p:

>>> l = Location("Delhi", 112.345, 234.788)
>>> l.name
'Delhi'
>>> l.longitude
112.345
>>> l.latitude
234.788
>>> l.name = "Kolkata"
dataclasses.FrozenInstanceError: cannot assign to field 'name'
>>>

这里有一个优雅的解决方案:

class Immutable(object):
    def __setattr__(self, key, value):
        if not hasattr(self, key):
            super().__setattr__(key, value)
        else:
            raise RuntimeError("Can't modify immutable object's attribute: {}".format(key))

从这个类继承,在构造函数中初始化字段,就完成了所有设置。

这里没有包括的是完全不可变性……不仅仅是父对象,还有所有的子对象。例如,元组/frozensets可能是不可变的,但它所属的对象可能不是。下面是一个小的(不完整的)版本,它在执行不变性方面做得很好:

# Initialize lists
a = [1,2,3]
b = [4,5,6]
c = [7,8,9]

l = [a,b]

# We can reassign in a list 
l[0] = c

# But not a tuple
t = (a,b)
#t[0] = c -> Throws exception
# But elements can be modified
t[0][1] = 4
t
([1, 4, 3], [4, 5, 6])
# Fix it back
t[0][1] = 2

li = ImmutableObject(l)
li
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
# Can't assign
#li[0] = c will fail
# Can reference
li[0]
[1, 2, 3]
# But immutability conferred on returned object too
#li[0][1] = 4 will throw an exception

# Full solution should wrap all the comparison e.g. decorators.
# Also, you'd usually want to add a hash function, i didn't put
# an interface for that.

class ImmutableObject(object):
    def __init__(self, inobj):
        self._inited = False
        self._inobj = inobj
        self._inited = True

    def __repr__(self):
        return self._inobj.__repr__()

    def __str__(self):
        return self._inobj.__str__()

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return ImmutableObject(self._inobj.__getitem__(key))

    def __iter__(self):
        return self._inobj.__iter__()

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        raise AttributeError, 'Object is read-only'

    def __getattr__(self, key):
        x = getattr(self._inobj, key)
        if callable(x):
              return x
        else:
              return ImmutableObject(x)

    def __hash__(self):
        return self._inobj.__hash__()

    def __eq__(self, second):
        return self._inobj.__eq__(second)

    def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
        if attr not in  ['_inobj', '_inited'] and self._inited == True:
            raise AttributeError, 'Object is read-only'
        object.__setattr__(self, attr, value)

我已经创建了一个小型类装饰器decorator,以使类不可变(除了在__init__内部)。作为https://github.com/google/etils的一部分。

from etils import epy


@epy.frozen
class A:

  def __init__(self):
    self.x = 123  # Inside `__init__`, attribute can be assigned

a = A()
a.x = 456  # AttributeError

这也支持继承。

实现:

_Cls = TypeVar('_Cls')


def frozen(cls: _Cls) -> _Cls:
  """Class decorator which prevent mutating attributes after `__init__`."""
  if not isinstance(cls, type):
    raise TypeError(f'{cls.__name__} is not a class.')

  cls.__init__ = _wrap_init(cls.__init__)
  cls.__setattr__ = _wrap_setattr(cls.__setattr__)
  return cls


def _wrap_init(init_fn):
  """`__init__` wrapper."""

  @functools.wraps(init_fn)
  def new_init(self, *args, **kwargs):
    if hasattr(self, '_epy_is_init_done'):
      # `_epy_is_init_done` already created, so it means we're
      # a `super().__init__` call.
      return init_fn(self, *args, **kwargs)
    object.__setattr__(self, '_epy_is_init_done', False)
    init_fn(self, *args, **kwargs)
    object.__setattr__(self, '_epy_is_init_done', True)

  return new_init

def _wrap_setattr(setattr_fn):
  """`__setattr__` wrapper."""

  @functools.wraps(setattr_fn)
  def new_setattr(self, name, value):
    if not hasattr(self, '_epy_is_init_done'):
      raise ValueError(
          'Child of `@epy.frozen` class should be `@epy.frozen` too. (Error'
          f' raised by {type(self)})'
      )
    if not self._epy_is_init_done:  # pylint: disable=protected-access
      return setattr_fn(self, name, value)
    else:
      raise AttributeError(
          f'Cannot assign {name!r} in `@epy.frozen` class {type(self)}'
      )

  return new_setattr

我刚刚想到的另一个解决方案是:获得与原始代码相同行为的最简单方法是

Immutable = collections.namedtuple("Immutable", ["a", "b"])

它并没有解决属性可以通过[0]等访问的问题,但至少它相当简短,并提供了与pickle和copy兼容的额外优势。

namedtuple创建了一个类似于我在这个答案中描述的类型,即从tuple派生并使用__slots__。它在Python 2.6或更高版本中可用。
