Python 3中的super()是如何实现的？

Question

我想知道Python 3中的新超级是如何实现的.

在我做了一个小例子之后,这个问题就出现在了我脑海中,我得到了一个奇怪的错误.我正在使用Pyutilib组件架构(PCA),我已经制作了自定义元类来驱动另一个类的创建:

from pyutilib.component.core import implements, SingletonPlugin, PluginMeta, Interface

class IPass(Interface):
    pass

class __MetaPlugin(PluginMeta):
    def __new__(cls, name, baseClasses, classdict):
        print(cls, name, baseClasses, classdict)
        if baseClasses:
            baseClasses += (SingletonPlugin,)
        return PluginMeta.__new__(cls, name, baseClasses, classdict)

class Pass(metaclass=__MetaPlugin):
    implements(IPass)

    def __init__(self, inputs=[], outputs=[]):
        self.inputs = []
        self.outputs = []


class A(Pass):
    def __init__(self):
        print(self.__class__) # <class '__main__.A'>
        print(self.__class__.__class__) # <class '__main__.__MetaPlugin'>
        print(PluginMeta.__class__) # <class 'type'>
        super().__init__() # SystemError: super(): empty __class__ cell
        #Pass.__init__(self) - this works

a = A()

我收到以下错误:

super().__init__() SystemError: super(): empty __class__ cell

我很奇怪究竟什么是super(),它会引发错误super().__init__(),而所有的self.__class__,self.__class__.__class__并且PluginMeta.__class__存在.额外的"旧方式" - Pass.__init__(self)正在发挥作用.

TL; DR:这"empty __class__ cell"之前,它与它完成时元类试图调用中定义的类的方法(或实例吧)会发生错误__new__,并__init__和被调用的方法使用 super.如果将一个调用写入super()类体外部定义的函数中,并尝试将此方法添加到现有类并使用它,也会发生错误.(更新:此行为已在Python 3.6中修复)

Python 3 super对"magic" __class__[*]名称进行隐式引用,该名称在每个类方法的命名空间中表现为单元格变量.

这个变量是在类创建机制结束时自动创建的 - 也就是说,只要Python中有一个类主体,__new__并且__init__运行了元类,当__init__完成时,__class__ 就会填充单元格并使其可用于类的方法.

这里发生的是,在PluginMeta初始化代码中可能(我没有查看所有代码)__init__,在元类结束之前调用类__init__- 因为这个元类的一个点是处理单例 - 什么是可能发生的是,元类机制正在实例化单实例并__instance__在从元类返回之前进行填充__init__.此时__class__,super使用的隐式不存在.

因此,通过硬编码名称引用超类,就像super在Python2 之前必须做的那样,这将是有效的 - 并且是实现您想要的最佳方式.

*- 这不是self.__class__实例的属性,它是__class__方法中实际可用的变量:

class A:
   def a(self):
      print ("Instance's class: {}, "
             "actual class where this line is coded: {}".format(
                 self.__class__, __class__))

class B(A):
   pass

运行这个我们有:

>>> B().a()
Instance's class: <class '__main__.B'>, actual class where this line is coded: <class '__main__.A'>
>>> 

从Python数据模型中:

__class__是由编译器创建如果在类身体的任何方法指任一个隐式的闭合参考__class__或super.这允许零参数形式super()正确地识别基于词法作用域定义的类,而用于进行当前调用的类或实例基于传递给该方法的第一个参数来识别.

如何super()实施？这是python3.3的代码:

您可以super_init在某个时刻看到有检查type == NULL,然后它会引发您看到的错误.有NULLs,这是不正常的,所以可能在某处有一个错误super(并注意super在以前的版本中已经有错误).至少我认为SystemError引发的情况应该仅由于解释器或其他一些C代码的某些"内部"故障而不是python代码而触发.

此外,这不仅仅发生在你身上,你可以找到一个帖子,其中这种行为被认为是一个错误.
