Descriptor HowTo Guide

Abstract

检查自定义描述符和内置的描述符包括函数、属性、静态方法、类方法。帮助我们深入了解python工作方式。

• __get__()
• __set__()
• __delete__()

data descriptor
获取对象的属性时自动调用描述符方法。

• 对象：object.getattribute()：transforms b.x into type(b).dict['x'].get(b, type(b))
• 类：type.getattribute():transforms B.x into B.dict['x'].get(None, B).

The important points to remember are:

• descriptors are invoked by the __getattribute__() method
• overriding __getattribute__() prevents automatic descriptor calls
• __getattribute__() is only available with new style classes and objects
• object.__getattribute__() and type.__getattribute__() make different calls to __get__().`
• data descriptors always override instance dictionaries.
• non-data descriptors may be overridden by instance dictionaries.

类在定义函数时，通过字典保存函数的地址，__get__()方法获取函数。

unbound method&bound method

Likewise, the effects of calling a method object depend on the imself field. If set (meaning bound), the original function (stored in the imfunc field) is called as expected with the first argument set to the instance. If unbound, all of the arguments are passed unchanged to the original function. The actual C implementation of instancemethod_call() is only slightly more complex in that it includes some type checking.

Static Methods and Class Methods

函数有__get__()方法将自己转换成方法。

The non-data descriptor transforms an obj.f(args) call into f(obj, *args). Calling klass.f(args) becomes f(*args).
