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

我正在尝试用不同的方法在Python中创建一个真正的常量,也许我找到了漂亮的解决方案。

例子:

为常量创建容器

>>> DAYS = Constants(
...     MON=0,
...     TUE=1,
...     WED=2,
...     THU=3,
...     FRI=4,
...     SAT=5,
...     SUN=6
... )   

从容器中获取价值

>>> DAYS.MON
0
>>> DAYS['MON']
0  

用纯python数据结构表示

>>> list(DAYS)
['WED', 'SUN', 'FRI', 'THU', 'MON', 'TUE', 'SAT']
>>> dict(DAYS)
{'WED': 2, 'SUN': 6, 'FRI': 4, 'THU': 3, 'MON': 0, 'TUE': 1, 'SAT': 5}

所有常数都是不可变的

>>> DAYS.MON = 7
...
AttributeError: Immutable attribute

>>> del DAYS.MON 
...
AttributeError: Immutable attribute

仅对常量自动补全

>>> dir(DAYS)
['FRI', 'MON', 'SAT', 'SUN', 'THU', 'TUE', 'WED']

像list.sort那样排序

>>> DAYS.sort(key=lambda (k, v): v, reverse=True)
>>> list(DAYS)
['SUN', 'SAT', 'FRI', 'THU', 'WED', 'TUE', 'MON']

与python2和python3的兼容性

常量的简单容器

from collections import OrderedDict
from copy import deepcopy

class Constants(object):
    """Container of constant"""

    __slots__ = ('__dict__')

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):

        if list(filter(lambda x: not x.isupper(), kwargs)):
            raise AttributeError('Constant name should be uppercase.')

        super(Constants, self).__setattr__(
            '__dict__',
            OrderedDict(map(lambda x: (x[0], deepcopy(x[1])), kwargs.items()))
        )

    def sort(self, key=None, reverse=False):
        super(Constants, self).__setattr__(
            '__dict__',
            OrderedDict(sorted(self.__dict__.items(), key=key, reverse=reverse))
        )

    def __getitem__(self, name):
        return self.__dict__[name]

    def __len__(self):
        return  len(self.__dict__)

    def __iter__(self):
        for name in self.__dict__:
            yield name

    def keys(self):
        return list(self)

    def __str__(self):
        return str(list(self))

    def __repr__(self):
        return '<%s: %s>' % (self.__class__.__name__, str(self.__dict__))

    def __dir__(self):
        return list(self)

    def __setattr__(self, name, value):
        raise AttributeError("Immutable attribute")

    def __delattr__(*_):
        raise AttributeError("Immutable attribute")

其他回答

我最近发现了一个非常简洁的更新,它会自动引发有意义的错误消息,并阻止通过__dict__访问:

class CONST(object):
    __slots__ = ()
    FOO = 1234

CONST = CONST()

# ----------

print(CONST.FOO)    # 1234

CONST.FOO = 4321              # AttributeError: 'CONST' object attribute 'FOO' is read-only
CONST.__dict__['FOO'] = 4321  # AttributeError: 'CONST' object has no attribute '__dict__'
CONST.BAR = 5678              # AttributeError: 'CONST' object has no attribute 'BAR'

我们将自己定义为一个实例,然后使用插槽来确保不能添加其他属性。这也删除了__dict__访问路由。当然,整个对象仍然可以重新定义。

编辑-原始解决方案

我可能忽略了一个技巧,但这似乎对我有用:

class CONST(object):
    FOO = 1234

    def __setattr__(self, *_):
        pass

CONST = CONST()

#----------

print CONST.FOO    # 1234

CONST.FOO = 4321
CONST.BAR = 5678

print CONST.FOO    # Still 1234!
print CONST.BAR    # Oops AttributeError

创建实例允许神奇的__setattr__方法介入并拦截设置FOO变量的尝试。如果您愿意,可以在这里抛出异常。通过类名实例化实例可以防止直接通过类进行访问。

对于一个值来说,这非常麻烦,但是您可以将许多值附加到CONST对象上。有一个上层的类,类名似乎也有点难看,但我认为它总体上是相当简洁的。

使用namedtuple有一种更干净的方法:

from collections import namedtuple


def make_consts(name, **kwargs):
    return namedtuple(name, kwargs.keys())(**kwargs)

使用的例子

CONSTS = make_consts("baz1",
                     foo=1,
                     bar=2)

使用这种方法,您可以为常数命名空间。

我知道这是一个老问题,但由于新的解决方案仍在添加,我想使可能的解决方案列表更加完整。你可以通过从类中继承属性来实现实例中的常量,如下所示:

class ConstantError(Exception):
    pass  # maybe give nice error message

class AllowConstants:
    _constants = None
    _class_constants = None

    def __init__(self):
        self._constants = {}
        if self._class_constants is not None:
            self._constants.update(self._class_constants)

    def constant(self, name, value):
        assert isinstance(name, str)
        assert self._constants is not None, "AllowConstants was not initialized"
        if name in self._constants or name in self.__dict__:
            raise ConstantError(name)
        self._constants[name] = value

    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        if attr in self._constants:
            return self._constants[attr]
        raise AttributeError(attr)

    def __setattr__(self, attr, val):
        if self._constants is None:
            # not finished initialization
            self.__dict__[attr] = val
        else:
            if attr in self._constants:
                raise ConstantError(attr)
            else:
                self.__dict__[attr] = val

    def __dir__(self):
        return super().__dir__() + list(self._constants.keys())

子类化this时,你创建的常量将受到保护:

class Example(AllowConstants):
    def __init__(self, a, b):
        super().__init__()
        self.constant("b", b)
        self.a = a

    def try_a(self, value):
        self.a = value

    def try_b(self, value):
        self.b = value

    def __str__(self):
        return str({"a": self.a, "b": self.b})

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


example = Example(1, 2)
print(example)  # {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

example.try_a(5)
print(example)  # {'a': 5, 'b': 2}

example.try_b(6)  # ConstantError: b

example.a = 7
print(example)  # {'a': 7, 'b': 2}

example.b = 8  # ConstantError: b

print(hasattr(example, "b"))  # True

#  To show that constants really do immediately become constant: 

class AnotherExample(AllowConstants):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.constant("a", 2)
        print(self.a)
        self.a=3


AnotherExample()  # 2  ConstantError: a


# finally, for class constants:
class YetAnotherExample(Example):
    _class_constants = {
        'BLA': 3
    }

    def __init__(self, a, b):
        super().__init__(a,b)

    def try_BLA(self, value):
        self.BLA = value

ex3 = YetAnotherExample(10, 20)
ex3.BLA  # 3
ex3.try_BLA(10)  # ConstantError: BLA
ex3.BLA = 4  # ConstantError: BLA

常量是局部的(从AllowConstants继承的类的每个实例都有自己的常量),只要它们没有被重新赋值,就像普通的属性一样,并且编写从这个继承的类允许或多或少与支持常量的语言相同的风格。

此外,如果您想通过直接访问实例来防止任何人更改值。_constants,您可以使用其他答案中建议的许多不允许这样做的容器之一。最后,如果你真的觉得有必要,你可以阻止人们设置所有的实例。通过AllowConstants的更多属性访问,将_constants赋给一个新字典。(当然,这些都不是非常python化的,但这不是重点)。

编辑(因为使python非python化是一个有趣的游戏):为了使继承更容易一点,你可以修改AllowConstants如下:

class AllowConstants:
    _constants = None
    _class_constants = None

    def __init__(self):
        self._constants = {}
        self._update_class_constants()

    def __init_subclass__(cls):
        """
        Without this, it is necessary to set _class_constants in any subclass of any class that has class constants
        """
        if cls._class_constants is not None:
            #prevent trouble where _class_constants is not overwritten
            possible_cases = cls.__mro__[1:-1] #0 will have cls and -1 will have object
            for case in possible_cases:
                if cls._class_constants is case._class_constants:
                    cls._class_constants = None
                    break

    def _update_class_constants(self):
        """
        Help with the inheritance of class constants
        """
        for superclass in self.__class__.__mro__:
            if hasattr(superclass, "_class_constants"):
                sccc = superclass._class_constants
                if sccc is not None:
                    for key in sccc:
                        if key in self._constants:
                            raise ConstantError(key)
                    self._constants.update(sccc)

    def constant(self, name, value):
        assert isinstance(name, str)
        assert self._constants is not None, "AllowConstants was not initialized"
        if name in self._constants or name in self.__dict__:
            raise ConstantError(name)
        self._constants[name] = value

    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        if attr in self._constants:
            return self._constants[attr]
        raise AttributeError(attr)

    def __setattr__(self, attr, val):
        if self._constants is None:
            # not finished initialization
            self.__dict__[attr] = val
        else:
            if attr in self._constants:
                raise ConstantError(attr)
            else:
                self.__dict__[attr] = val

    def __dir__(self):
        return super().__dir__() + list(self._constants.keys())

这样你就可以:

class Example(AllowConstants):
    _class_constants = {
        "BLA": 2
    }
    def __init__(self, a, b):
        super().__init__()
        self.constant("b", b)
        self.a = a

    def try_a(self, value):
        self.a = value

    def try_b(self, value):
        self.b = value

    def __str__(self):
        return str({"a": self.a, "b": self.b})

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


class ChildExample1(Example):
    _class_constants = {
        "BLI": 88
    }


class ChildExample2(Example):
    _class_constants = {
        "BLA": 44
    }


example = ChildExample1(2,3)
print(example.BLA)  # 2
example.BLA = 8  # ConstantError BLA
print(example.BLI)  # 88
example.BLI = 8  # ConstantError BLI

example = ChildExample2(2,3)  # ConstantError BLA

嗯. .尽管这是过时的,让我在这里补充我的2分:-)

class ConstDict(dict):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ConstDict, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        if key in self:
            raise ValueError("Value %s already exists" % (key))
        super(ConstDict, self).__setitem__(key, value)

您可以防止在那里发生任何更新,而不是破坏ValueError。这样做的一个好处是,您可以在程序中动态地添加常数,但一旦设置了常数就不能更改。你也可以在设置常量之前添加任何规则(比如key必须是字符串或小写字符串或大写字符串等)

然而,我不认为在Python中设置常量有任何重要性。没有优化可以像在C中那样发生,因此它是不需要的,我猜。

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'
