我有一个用Python编写的应用程序,它是由相当专业的观众(科学家)使用的。
我正在寻找一个好方法,使应用程序可扩展的用户,即脚本/插件架构。
I am looking for something extremely lightweight. Most scripts, or plugins, are not going to be developed and distributed by a third-party and installed, but are going to be something whipped up by a user in a few minutes to automate a repeating task, add support for a file format, etc. So plugins should have the absolute minimum boilerplate code, and require no 'installation' other than copying to a folder (so something like setuptools entry points, or the Zope plugin architecture seems like too much.)
是否已经有类似的系统存在,或者是否有项目实现了类似的方案,我应该看看想法/灵感?
扩展@edomaur的回答,我建议看看simple_plugins(无耻的插件),这是一个简单的插件框架,灵感来自Marty Alchin的工作。
一个基于项目README的简短使用示例:
# All plugin info
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.keys()
['valid_ids', 'instances_sorted_by_id', 'id_to_class', 'instances',
'classes', 'class_to_id', 'id_to_instance']
# Plugin info can be accessed using either dict...
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins['valid_ids']
set([304, 400, 404, 200, 301])
# ... or object notation
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.valid_ids
set([304, 400, 404, 200, 301])
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.classes
set([<class '__main__.NotFound'>, <class '__main__.OK'>,
<class '__main__.NotModified'>, <class '__main__.BadRequest'>,
<class '__main__.MovedPermanently'>])
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.id_to_class[200]
<class '__main__.OK'>
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.id_to_instance[200]
<OK: 200>
>>> BaseHttpResponse.plugins.instances_sorted_by_id
[<OK: 200>, <MovedPermanently: 301>, <NotModified: 304>, <BadRequest: 400>, <NotFound: 404>]
# Coerce the passed value into the right instance
>>> BaseHttpResponse.coerce(200)
<OK: 200>
当我搜索Python Decorators时,发现了一个简单但有用的代码片段。它可能不符合你的需求,但非常鼓舞人心。
Scipy高级Python#插件注册系统
class TextProcessor(object):
PLUGINS = []
def process(self, text, plugins=()):
if plugins is ():
for plugin in self.PLUGINS:
text = plugin().process(text)
else:
for plugin in plugins:
text = plugin().process(text)
return text
@classmethod
def plugin(cls, plugin):
cls.PLUGINS.append(plugin)
return plugin
@TextProcessor.plugin
class CleanMarkdownBolds(object):
def process(self, text):
return text.replace('**', '')
用法:
processor = TextProcessor()
processed = processor.process(text="**foo bar**", plugins=(CleanMarkdownBolds, ))
processed = processor.process(text="**foo bar**")
我花了很多时间试图找到适合我需求的小型Python插件系统。但后来我就想,既然已经有了一种遗传,它是自然的、灵活的,为什么不利用它呢?
对插件使用继承的唯一问题是你不知道最具体的(继承树中最低的)插件类是什么。
但这可以用元类来解决,它可以跟踪基类的继承,也可以构建类,它继承自大多数特定的插件(下图中的“根扩展”)
所以我通过编写这样一个元类来解决这个问题:
class PluginBaseMeta(type):
def __new__(mcls, name, bases, namespace):
cls = super(PluginBaseMeta, mcls).__new__(mcls, name, bases, namespace)
if not hasattr(cls, '__pluginextensions__'): # parent class
cls.__pluginextensions__ = {cls} # set reflects lowest plugins
cls.__pluginroot__ = cls
cls.__pluginiscachevalid__ = False
else: # subclass
assert not set(namespace) & {'__pluginextensions__',
'__pluginroot__'} # only in parent
exts = cls.__pluginextensions__
exts.difference_update(set(bases)) # remove parents
exts.add(cls) # and add current
cls.__pluginroot__.__pluginiscachevalid__ = False
return cls
@property
def PluginExtended(cls):
# After PluginExtended creation we'll have only 1 item in set
# so this is used for caching, mainly not to create same PluginExtended
if cls.__pluginroot__.__pluginiscachevalid__:
return next(iter(cls.__pluginextensions__)) # only 1 item in set
else:
name = cls.__pluginroot__.__name__ + 'PluginExtended'
extended = type(name, tuple(cls.__pluginextensions__), {})
cls.__pluginroot__.__pluginiscachevalid__ = True
return extended
所以当你有根基础,用元类,并有一棵从它继承的插件树时,你可以自动获得class,它通过子类化从最特定的插件继承:
class RootExtended(RootBase.PluginExtended):
... your code here ...
代码库非常小(大约30行纯代码),并且继承时非常灵活。
