元类是 Python 中最强大的高级特性之一,它允许你控制类的创建过程。理解元类是掌握 Python 元编程的关键。
一、元类的基本概念
1. 什么是元类?
"""元类是创建类的类。关系链:元类(metaclass) → 类(class) → 实例(instance)Python中,一切都是对象:- 整数、字符串、列表等是对象- 类也是对象(type的实例)- type是type自身的实例(最特殊的元类)"""# type是所有类的默认元类print(f"type的类型: {type(type)}") # <class 'type'>print(f"type是自身的实例: {type(type) istype}") # True# 类的创建过程class MyClass: passobj = MyClass()print(f"实例的类型: {type(obj)}") # <class '__main__.MyClass'>print(f"类的类型: {type(MyClass)}") # <class 'type'>print(f"类的元类: {MyClass.__class__}") # <class 'type'># 证明类也是对象class_list = [MyClass, str, list, dict]for cls in class_list: print(f"{cls.__name__} 的类型是 {type(cls).__name__}")
2. 元类的工作机制
"""类的创建流程:1. Python解释器遇到class关键字2. 收集类名、基类、类体代码3. 调用元类的__new__()方法创建类4. 调用元类的__init__()方法初始化类5. 将类对象绑定到类名实例的创建流程:1. 调用类的__call__()方法(即元类的__call__())2. 调用类的__new__()方法3. 调用类的__init__()方法"""# 使用type手动创建类(模拟class关键字的工作)def __init__(self, name): self.name = namedef say_hello(self): return f"Hello, I'm {self.name}"# 等效于 class Person: ...Person = type('Person', (), { '__init__': __init__, 'say_hello': say_hello, 'species': '人类'})# 使用person = Person("张三")print(person.say_hello()) # Hello, I'm 张三print(person.species) # 人类
二、创建自定义元类
1. 基本元类示例
class SimpleMeta(type): """最简单的自定义元类""" def __new__(mcs, name, bases, attrs): """ 创建类对象 参数: mcs: 元类自身(cls) name: 类名 bases: 基类元组 attrs: 类属性字典 """ print(f"【元类__new__】创建类: {name}") print(f" 基类: {bases}") print(f" 属性: {list(attrs.keys())}") # 调用type的__new__创建类 cls = super().__new__(mcs, name, bases, attrs) # 可以修改或添加类属性 cls.created_by = 'SimpleMeta' cls.creation_time = 'now' return cls def __init__(cls, name, bases, attrs): """ 初始化类对象 参数中的cls是刚刚创建的类对象 """ print(f"【元类__init__】初始化类: {name}") super().__init__(name, bases, attrs) def __call__(cls, *args, **kwargs): """ 创建类的实例时调用 这控制了实例的创建过程 """ print(f"【元类__call__】创建 {cls.__name__} 的实例") print(f" 参数: args={args}, kwargs={kwargs}") # 1. 调用类的__new__ instance = cls.__new__(cls) # 2. 调用类的__init__ if instance is not None and hasattr(instance, '__init__'): instance.__init__(*args, **kwargs) # 可以修改实例 instance.created_by_meta = True return instance# 使用自定义元类class MyClass(metaclass=SimpleMeta): """使用SimpleMeta作为元类""" def __init__(self, value): self.value = value print(f"【类__init__】初始化实例,value={value}") def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs): print(f"【类__new__】创建实例") return super().__new__(cls)print("=" * 50)print("开始创建类...")print("-" * 50)# 类创建时调用元类的__new__和__init__# 已经在类定义时执行了print("-" * 50)print("开始创建实例...")print("-" * 50)# 实例创建时调用元类的__call__obj = MyClass(42)print("-" * 50)print(f"实例属性: value={obj.value}, created_by_meta={obj.created_by_meta}")print(f"类属性: created_by={MyClass.created_by}")
2. 自动注册的元类
class PluginMeta(type): """插件注册元类:自动注册所有子类""" # 注册表 _registry = {} def __new__(mcs, name, bases, attrs): # 创建类 cls = super().__new__(mcs, name, bases, attrs) # 跳过基类(不注册抽象的Plugin类) if bases != (object,) and 'Plugin' in [base.__name__ for base in bases]: # 注册类 plugin_name = attrs.get('plugin_name', name.lower()) mcs._registry[plugin_name] = cls print(f"✅ 注册插件: {plugin_name} -> {name}") return cls @classmethod def get_plugin(cls, name): """获取插件""" return cls._registry.get(name) @classmethod def list_plugins(cls): """列出所有插件""" return list(cls._registry.keys())# 基类:使用PluginMeta作为元类class Plugin(metaclass=PluginMeta): """插件基类""" plugin_name = None def execute(self, *args, **kwargs): raise NotImplementedError("子类必须实现execute方法")# 插件类会自动注册class ImageProcessor(Plugin): """图片处理器插件""" plugin_name = 'image_processor' def execute(self, image_path): return f"处理图片: {image_path}"class TextAnalyzer(Plugin): """文本分析插件""" plugin_name = 'text_analyzer' def execute(self, text): return f"分析文本: {text[:50]}..."class DataExporter(Plugin): """数据导出插件""" # 使用类名作为插件名(小写) def execute(self, data): return f"导出数据: {len(data)}条记录"# 使用print("\n已注册的插件:")for name in PluginMeta.list_plugins(): print(f" - {name}")print("\n使用插件:")image_plugin = PluginMeta.get_plugin('image_processor')()result = image_plugin.execute("/path/to/image.jpg")print(f" 图片处理结果: {result}")text_plugin = PluginMeta.get_plugin('text_analyzer')()result = text_plugin.execute("这是一段很长的文本内容,需要进行分析和处理...")print(f" 文本分析结果: {result}")data_plugin = PluginMeta.get_plugin('dataexporter')() # 使用类名小写result = data_plugin.execute([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])print(f" 数据导出结果: {result}")
三、元类的实际应用
1. ORM(对象关系映射)框架
class Field: """数据库字段描述符""" def __init__(self, field_type, primary_key=False, nullable=True, default=None): self.field_type = field_type self.primary_key = primary_key self.nullable = nullable self.default = default self.name = None # 会在元类中设置 def __get__(self, instance, owner): if instance is None: return self return instance.__dict__.get(self.name, self.default) def __set__(self, instance, value): if value is None and not self.nullable: raise ValueError(f"{self.name} 不能为空") if value is not None and not isinstance(value, self.field_type): raise TypeError(f"{self.name} 必须是 {self.field_type.__name__} 类型") instance.__dict__[self.name] = valueclass ModelMeta(type): """模型元类:自动处理字段和表映射""" def __new__(mcs, name, bases, attrs): # 跳过基类Model if name == 'Model': return super().__new__(mcs, name, bases, attrs) print(f"【ModelMeta】创建模型类: {name}") # 收集字段 fields = {} primary_key = None for attr_name, attr_value in attrs.items(): if isinstance(attr_value, Field): # 设置字段名 attr_value.name = attr_name fields[attr_name] = attr_value # 检查主键 if attr_value.primary_key: if primary_key is not None: raise ValueError("只能有一个主键字段") primary_key = attr_name # 移除字段描述符,防止成为类属性 for field_name in fields: attrs.pop(field_name) # 添加元数据 attrs['_fields'] = fields attrs['_table_name'] = name.lower() + 's' # 简单复数化 attrs['_primary_key'] = primary_key # 添加通用方法 attrs['__init__'] = mcs.create_init(fields) attrs['save'] = mcs.create_save() attrs['delete'] = mcs.create_delete() attrs['to_dict'] = lambda self: {name: getattr(self, name) for name in fields} # 添加类方法 attrs['create_table_sql'] = classmethod(mcs.create_table_sql) attrs['get'] = classmethod(mcs.create_get()) # 创建类 cls = super().__new__(mcs, name, bases, attrs) print(f" 表名: {cls._table_name}") print(f" 字段: {list(fields.keys())}") print(f" 主键: {primary_key}") return cls @staticmethod def create_init(fields): """创建__init__方法""" def init(self, **kwargs): for field_name, field in fields.items(): value = kwargs.get(field_name, field.default) setattr(self, field_name, value) return init @staticmethod def create_save(): """创建save方法""" def save(self): # 模拟保存到数据库 data = self.to_dict() if self._primary_key and getattr(self, self._primary_key) is None: # 插入新记录 print(f"INSERT INTO {self._table_name} VALUES {tuple(data.values())}") else: # 更新记录 print(f"UPDATE {self._table_name} SET {data} WHERE {self._primary_key}={getattr(self, self._primary_key)}") return True return save @staticmethod def create_delete(): """创建delete方法""" def delete(self): if self._primary_key and getattr(self, self._primary_key) is not None: print(f"DELETE FROM {self._table_name} WHERE {self._primary_key}={getattr(self, self._primary_key)}") return True return False return delete @staticmethod def create_table_sql(cls): """创建建表SQL""" columns = [] for field_name, field in cls._fields.items(): column_def = f"{field_name}{field.field_type.__name__.upper()}" if field.primary_key: column_def += " PRIMARY KEY" if not field.nullable: column_def += " NOT NULL" if field.default is not None: column_def += f" DEFAULT {repr(field.default)}" columns.append(column_def) sql = f"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS {cls._table_name} (\n " sql += ",\n ".join(columns) sql += "\n);" return sql @staticmethod def create_get(): """创建get类方法""" @classmethod def get(cls, pk_value): # 模拟从数据库查询 print(f"SELECT * FROM {cls._table_name} WHERE {cls._primary_key}={pk_value}") # 这里应该返回实例,为了示例返回None return None return get# 基类class Model(metaclass=ModelMeta): """模型基类""" pass# 使用元类自动创建模型class User(Model): """用户模型""" id = Field(int, primary_key=True) username = Field(str, nullable=False) email = Field(str) age = Field(int, default=18) is_active = Field(bool, default=True)class Product(Model): """产品模型""" id = Field(int, primary_key=True) name = Field(str, nullable=False) price = Field(float, nullable=False) stock = Field(int, default=0)# 使用模型print("\n" + "="*50)print("使用ORM模型:")print("="*50)# 查看建表SQLprint("\nUser表SQL:")print(User.create_table_sql())print("\nProduct表SQL:")print(Product.create_table_sql())# 创建实例print("\n创建用户:")user = User(username="张三", email="zhang@example.com", age=25)print(f"用户数据: {user.to_dict()}")# 保存print("\n保存用户:")user.save()# 设置ID并更新user.id = 1print("\n更新用户:")user.save()# 删除print("\n删除用户:")user.delete()# 查询print("\n查询用户:")User.get(1)
2. API路由自动注册
class RouteMeta(type): """路由注册元类:自动注册路由""" _routes = {} def __new__(mcs, name, bases, attrs): # 创建类 cls = super().__new__(mcs, name, bases, attrs) # 跳过基类 if bases != (object,): # 注册路由 prefix = attrs.get('route_prefix', '/' + name.lower()) print(f"🚀 注册控制器: {name} (前缀: {prefix})") # 收集路由方法 for attr_name, attr_value in attrs.items(): if callable(attr_value) and hasattr(attr_value, '_route'): # 获取路由信息 route_info = attr_value._route path = prefix + route_info['path'] methods = route_info['methods'] # 注册路由 full_path = f"{methods}{path}" mcs._routes[full_path] = { 'controller': cls, 'method': attr_name, 'handler': attr_value } print(f" → 注册路由: {full_path} -> {attr_name}") return cls @classmethod def dispatch(cls, method, path): """分发请求""" key = f"{method}{path}" route = cls._routes.get(key) if route: # 创建控制器实例并调用方法 controller = route['controller']() return route['handler'](controller) return {"error": "Route not found", "path": path} @classmethod def list_routes(cls): """列出所有路由""" return cls._routes# 路由装饰器def route(path, methods=['GET']): """路由装饰器""" def decorator(func): func._route = {'path': path, 'methods': ' '.join(methods)} return func return decorator# 控制器基类class Controller(metaclass=RouteMeta): """控制器基类""" route_prefix = ''# 用户控制器class UserController(Controller): route_prefix = '/users' @route('/') def list_users(self): return {"action": "list_users", "data": ["user1", "user2", "user3"]} @route('/<int:user_id>', methods=['GET']) def get_user(self, user_id): return {"action": "get_user", "user_id": user_id} @route('/<int:user_id>', methods=['PUT']) def update_user(self, user_id): return {"action": "update_user", "user_id": user_id} @route('/', methods=['POST']) def create_user(self): return {"action": "create_user"}# 产品控制器class ProductController(Controller): route_prefix = '/products' @route('/') def list_products(self): return {"action": "list_products", "data": ["product1", "product2"]} @route('/<int:product_id>') def get_product(self, product_id): return {"action": "get_product", "product_id": product_id}# 使用print("\n" + "="*50)print("路由系统:")print("="*50)print("\n已注册的路由:")routes = RouteMeta.list_routes()for route_path, info in routes.items(): print(f" {route_path} -> {info['controller'].__name__}.{info['method']}")print("\n模拟HTTP请求:")print("-" * 30)# 模拟请求分发test_requests = [ ('GET', '/users'), ('GET', '/users/123'), ('PUT', '/users/123'), ('POST', '/users'), ('GET', '/products'), ('GET', '/products/456'), ('GET', '/not-found'),]for method, path in test_requests: print(f"\n{method}{path}:") result = RouteMeta.dispatch(method, path) print(f" 结果: {result}")
3. 单例模式元类
class SingletonMeta(type): """单例模式元类""" _instances = {} def __call__(cls, *args, **kwargs): # 如果类还没有实例,创建并存储 if cls not in cls._instances: print(f"🆕 创建 {cls.__name__} 的单例实例") instance = super().__call__(*args, **kwargs) cls._instances[cls] = instance else: print(f"♻️ 使用 {cls.__name__} 的现有实例") return cls._instances[cls] @classmethod def clear_instances(mcs): """清除所有单例实例(用于测试)""" mcs._instances.clear() print("🧹 已清除所有单例实例")class DatabaseConnection(metaclass=SingletonMeta): """数据库连接(单例)""" def __init__(self, host='localhost', port=3306): self.host = host self.port = port self.connection = None print(f" 初始化数据库连接: {host}:{port}") def connect(self): if not self.connection: self.connection = f"Connection to {self.host}:{self.port}" print(f" 建立连接: {self.connection}") return self.connection def query(self, sql): print(f" 执行查询: {sql}") return f"Result from {self.host}: {sql}"class ConfigManager(metaclass=SingletonMeta): """配置管理器(单例)""" def __init__(self, config_file='config.json'): self.config_file = config_file self.config = self.load_config() print(f" 加载配置文件: {config_file}") def load_config(self): # 模拟加载配置 return {"app_name": "MyApp", "version": "1.0.0"} def get(self, key, default=None): return self.config.get(key, default)# 使用单例print("单例模式演示:")print("=" * 50)print("\n1. 数据库连接:")db1 = DatabaseConnection("db1.example.com", 3306)db1.connect()print("\n尝试创建第二个实例(应该是同一个):")db2 = DatabaseConnection("db1.example.com", 3306)db2.connect()print(f"\ndb1 is db2: {db1 is db2}")print(f"db1.host: {db1.host}, db2.host: {db2.host}")print("\n2. 配置管理器:")config1 = ConfigManager()print(f"应用名: {config1.get('app_name')}")print("\n尝试创建第二个配置管理器:")config2 = ConfigManager("other_config.json")print(f"配置文件: {config2.config_file} (应该是第一次的文件名)")print(f"\nconfig1 is config2: {config1 is config2}")print("\n3. 创建不同类的单例:")print("即使都是单例,不同类也是不同的实例")db = DatabaseConnection()config = ConfigManager()print(f"db is config: {db is config}")# 清理(仅用于演示)print("\n清理单例实例:")SingletonMeta.clear_instances()print("\n再次创建数据库连接(会创建新实例):")db3 = DatabaseConnection("new.example.com", 5432)print(f"db1 is db3: {db1 is db3}")
