专栏地址:每周一个 Python 模块
枚举类型可以看作是一种标签或是一系列常量的集合,通常用于表示某些特定的有限集合,例如星期、月份、状态等。Python 的原生类型(Built-in types)里并没有专门的枚举类型,但是我们可以通过很多方法来实现它,例如字典、类等:
WEEKDAY = {
'MON': 1,
'TUS': 2,
'WEN': 3,
'THU': 4,
'FRI': 5
}
class Color:
RED = 0
GREEN = 1
BLUE = 2
上面两种方法可以看做是简单的枚举类型的实现,如果只在局部范围内用到这样的枚举变量是没有问题的,但问题在于它们都是可变的(mutable),也就是说可以在其它地方被修改,从而影响其正常使用:
WEEKDAY['MON'] = WEEKDAY['FRI']
print(WEEKDAY) # {'FRI': 5, 'TUS': 2, 'MON': 5, 'WEN': 3, 'THU': 4}
通过类定义的枚举甚至可以实例化,变得不伦不类:
c = Color()
print(c.RED) # 0
Color.RED = 2
print(c.RED) # 2
当然也可以使用不可变类型(immutable),例如元组,但是这样就失去了枚举类型的本意,将标签退化为无意义的变量:
COLOR = ('R', 'G', 'B')
print(COLOR[0], COLOR[1], COLOR[2]) # R G B
为了提供更好的解决方案,Python 通过 PEP 435 在 3.4 版本中添加了 enum 标准库,3.4 之前的版本也可以通过 pip install enum
下载兼容支持的库。enum
提供了 Enum
/IntEnum
/unique
三个工具,用法也非常简单,可以通过继承 Enum
/IntEnum
定义枚举类型,其中 IntEnum
限定枚举成员必须为(或可以转化为)整数类型,而 unique
方法可以作为修饰器限定枚举成员的值不可重复。
创建枚举
通过子类化 enum 类来定义枚举,代码如下:
import enum
class BugStatus(enum.Enum):
new = 7
incomplete = 6
invalid = 5
wont_fix = 4
in_progress = 3
fix_committed = 2
fix_released = 1
print('\nMember name: {}'.format(BugStatus.wont_fix.name))
print('Member value: {}'.format(BugStatus.wont_fix.value))
# output
# Member name: wont_fix
# Member value: 4
在解析 Enum 类时,会将每个成员转换成实例,每个实例都有 name 和 value 属性,分别对应成员的名称和值。
迭代枚举
直接看代码:
import enum
class BugStatus(enum.Enum):
new = 7
incomplete = 6
invalid = 5
wont_fix = 4
in_progress = 3
fix_committed = 2
fix_released = 1
for status in BugStatus:
print('{:15} = {}'.format(status.name, status.value))
# output
# new = 7
# incomplete = 6
# invalid = 5
# wont_fix = 4
# in_progress = 3
# fix_committed = 2
# fix_released = 1
成员按照在类中的定义顺序生成。
比较枚举
由于枚举成员未被排序,因此它们仅支持通过 is
和 ==
进行比较。
import enum
class BugStatus(enum.Enum):
new = 7
incomplete = 6
invalid = 5
wont_fix = 4
in_progress = 3
fix_committed = 2
fix_released = 1
actual_state = BugStatus.wont_fix
desired_state = BugStatus.fix_released
print('Equality:',
actual_state == desired_state,
actual_state == BugStatus.wont_fix)
print('Identity:',
actual_state is desired_state,
actual_state is BugStatus.wont_fix)
print('Ordered by value:')
try:
print('\n'.join(' ' + s.name for s in sorted(BugStatus)))
except TypeError as err:
print(' Cannot sort: {}'.format(err))
# output
# Equality: False True
# Identity: False True
# Ordered by value:
# Cannot sort: '<' not supported between instances of 'BugStatus' and 'BugStatus'
大小比较引发 TypeError
异常。
继承 IntEnum
类创建的枚举类,成员间支持大小比较,代码如下:
import enum
class BugStatus(enum.IntEnum):
new = 7
incomplete = 6
invalid = 5
wont_fix = 4
in_progress = 3
fix_committed = 2
fix_released = 1
print('Ordered by value:')
print('\n'.join(' ' + s.name for s in sorted(BugStatus)))
# output
# Ordered by value:
# fix_released
# fix_committed
# in_progress
# wont_fix
# invalid
# incomplete
# new
唯一枚举值
具有相同值的枚举成员将作为对同一成员对象的别名引用,在迭代过程中,不会被打印出来。
import enum
class BugStatus(enum.Enum):
new = 7
incomplete = 6
invalid = 5
wont_fix = 4
in_progress = 3
fix_committed = 2
fix_released = 1
by_design = 4
closed = 1
for status in BugStatus:
print('{:15} = {}'.format(status.name, status.value))
print('\nSame: by_design is wont_fix: ',
BugStatus.by_design is BugStatus.wont_fix)
print('Same: closed is fix_released: ',
BugStatus.closed is BugStatus.fix_released)
# output
# new = 7
# incomplete = 6
# invalid = 5
# wont_fix = 4
# in_progress = 3
# fix_committed = 2
# fix_released = 1
#
# Same: by_design is wont_fix: True
# Same: closed is fix_released: True
因为 by_design 和 closed 是其他成员的别名,所以没有被打印。在枚举中,第一个出现的值是有效的。
如果想让每一个成员都有唯一值,可以使用 @unique
装饰器。
import enum
@enum.unique
class BugStatus(enum.Enum):
new = 7
incomplete = 6
invalid = 5
wont_fix = 4
in_progress = 3
fix_committed = 2
fix_released = 1
# This will trigger an error with unique applied.
by_design = 4
closed = 1
# output
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "enum_unique_enforce.py", line 11, in
# class BugStatus(enum.Enum):
# File ".../lib/python3.6/enum.py", line 834, in unique
# (enumeration, alias_details))
# ValueError: duplicate values found in :
# by_design -> wont_fix, closed -> fix_released
如果成员中有重复值,会有 ValueError
的报错。
以编程方式创建枚举
在一些情况下,通过编程的方式创建枚举,比直接在类中硬编码更方便。如果采用这种方式,还可以传递成员的 name 和 value 到类的构造函数。
import enum
BugStatus = enum.Enum(
value='BugStatus',
names=('fix_released fix_committed in_progress '
'wont_fix invalid incomplete new'),
)
print('Member: {}'.format(BugStatus.new))
print('\nAll members:')
for status in BugStatus:
print('{:15} = {}'.format(status.name, status.value))
# output
# Member: BugStatus.new
#
# All members:
# fix_released = 1
# fix_committed = 2
# in_progress = 3
# wont_fix = 4
# invalid = 5
# incomplete = 6
# new = 7
参数 value
代表枚举的名称,names
表示成员。如果给 name 传递的参数是字符串,那么会对这个字符串从空格和逗号处进行拆分,将拆分后的单个字符串作为成员的名称,然后再对其赋值,从 1 开始,以此类推。
为了更好地控制与成员关联的值, names
可以使用元组或将名称映射到值的字典替换字符串。什么意思,看下面的代码:
import enum
BugStatus = enum.Enum(
value='BugStatus',
names=[
('new', 7),
('incomplete', 6),
('invalid', 5),
('wont_fix', 4),
('in_progress', 3),
('fix_committed', 2),
('fix_released', 1),
],
)
print('All members:')
for status in BugStatus:
print('{:15} = {}'.format(status.name, status.value))
# output
# All members:
# new = 7
# incomplete = 6
# invalid = 5
# wont_fix = 4
# in_progress = 3
# fix_committed = 2
# fix_released = 1
在这里例子中,names
是一个列表,列表中的元素是元组。
非整数成员值
枚举成员值不限于整数。实际上,任何类型的对象都可以作为枚举值。如果值是元组,则成员将作为单独的参数传递给__init__()
。
import enum
class BugStatus(enum.Enum):
new = (7, ['incomplete', 'invalid', 'wont_fix', 'in_progress'])
incomplete = (6, ['new', 'wont_fix'])
invalid = (5, ['new'])
wont_fix = (4, ['new'])
in_progress = (3, ['new', 'fix_committed'])
fix_committed = (2, ['in_progress', 'fix_released'])
fix_released = (1, ['new'])
def __init__(self, num, transitions):
self.num = num
self.transitions = transitions
def can_transition(self, new_state):
return new_state.name in self.transitions
print('Name:', BugStatus.in_progress)
print('Value:', BugStatus.in_progress.value)
print('Custom attribute:', BugStatus.in_progress.transitions)
print('Using attribute:', BugStatus.in_progress.can_transition(BugStatus.new))
# output
# Name: BugStatus.in_progress
# Value: (3, ['new', 'fix_committed'])
# Custom attribute: ['new', 'fix_committed']
# Using attribute: True
在此示例中,每个成员值是一个元组,其中包含数字和列表。
对于更复杂的情况,元组可能就不那么方便了。由于成员值可以是任何类型的对象,因此如果有大量需要键值对数据结构的枚举值场景,字典就派上用场了。
import enum
class BugStatus(enum.Enum):
new = {
'num': 7,
'transitions': [
'incomplete',
'invalid',
'wont_fix',
'in_progress',
],
}
incomplete = {
'num': 6,
'transitions': ['new', 'wont_fix'],
}
invalid = {
'num': 5,
'transitions': ['new'],
}
wont_fix = {
'num': 4,
'transitions': ['new'],
}
in_progress = {
'num': 3,
'transitions': ['new', 'fix_committed'],
}
fix_committed = {
'num': 2,
'transitions': ['in_progress', 'fix_released'],
}
fix_released = {
'num': 1,
'transitions': ['new'],
}
def __init__(self, vals):
self.num = vals['num']
self.transitions = vals['transitions']
def can_transition(self, new_state):
return new_state.name in self.transitions
print('Name:', BugStatus.in_progress)
print('Value:', BugStatus.in_progress.value)
print('Custom attribute:', BugStatus.in_progress.transitions)
print('Using attribute:', BugStatus.in_progress.can_transition(BugStatus.new))
# output
# Name: BugStatus.in_progress
# Value: (3, ['new', 'fix_committed'])
# Custom attribute: ['new', 'fix_committed']
# Using attribute: True
这个例子和上面用元组是等价的。
