回顾:不含参数的decorators
在前文中,我介绍了如何使用不含参数的decorators,并使用类来实现。因为我发现这样做更容易接受。
如果创建了一个无参decorator,被decorated的函数被传至构造器,每次调用decorated函数时就会调用__call__()方法:
class decoratorWithoutArguments(object):
def __init__(self, f):
"""
If there are no decorator arguments, the function
to be decorated is passed to the constructor.
"""
print "Inside __init__()"
self.f = f
def __call__(self, *args):
"""
The __call__ method is not called until the
decorated function is called.
"""
print "Inside __call__()"
self.f(*args)
print "After self.f(*args)"
@decoratorWithoutArguments
def sayHello(a1, a2, a3, a4):
print 'sayHello arguments:', a1, a2, a3, a4
print "After decoration"
print "Preparing to call sayHello()"
sayHello("say", "hello", "argument", "list")
print "After first sayHello() call"
sayHello("a", "different", "set of", "arguments")
print "After second sayHello() call"
decorated函数的所有参数会被传至__call__()。输出结果是:
Inside __init__()
After decoration
Preparing to call sayHello()
Inside __call__()
sayHello arguments: say hello argument list
After self.f(*args)
After first sayHello() call
Inside __call__()
sayHello arguments: a different set of arguments
After self.f(*args)
After second sayHello() call
注意,__init__()是唯一一个被调用执行decoration的方法,每次调用decorated的sayHello()时就会调用__call__()。
含有参数的decorators
现在让我们来修改上面的代码,看看向decorator加入参数后结果是什么。
class decoratorWithArguments(object):
def __init__(self, arg1, arg2, arg3):
"""
If there are decorator arguments, the function
to be decorated is not passed to the constructor!
"""
print "Inside __init__()"
self.arg1 = arg1
self.arg2 = arg2
self.arg3 = arg3
def __call__(self, f):
"""
If there are decorator arguments, __call__() is only called
once, as part of the decoration process! You can only give
it a single argument, which is the function object.
"""
print "Inside __call__()"
def wrapped_f(*args):
print "Inside wrapped_f()"
print "Decorator arguments:", self.arg1, self.arg2, self.arg3
f(*args)
print "After f(*args)"
return wrapped_f
@decoratorWithArguments("hello", "world", 42)
def sayHello(a1, a2, a3, a4):
print 'sayHello arguments:', a1, a2, a3, a4
print "After decoration"
print "Preparing to call sayHello()"
sayHello("say", "hello", "argument", "list")
print "after first sayHello() call"
sayHello("a", "different", "set of", "arguments")
print "after second sayHello() call"
从输出结果可以看到,加入参数使程序执行发生了很大变化。
Inside __init__()
Inside __call__()
After decoration
Preparing to call sayHello()
Inside wrapped_f()
Decorator arguments: hello world 42
sayHello arguments: say hello argument list
After f(*args)
after first sayHello() call
Inside wrapped_f()
Decorator arguments: hello world 42
sayHello arguments: a different set of arguments
After f(*args)
after second sayHello() call
现在decoration方法调用构造器,然后就马上调用__call__(),后者只能包含一个参数(函数对象)且返回替代原有函数的decorated函数对象。注意当前decoration期间__call__()仅被调用一次,此后从__call__()返回的decorated函数就可以在实际调用中使用了。
虽然这种机制有一定合理性—构造器在这里可获取decorator参数,但__call__()对象不能再作为decorated函数使用了。因此你必须使用__call__()执行decoration—可能第一次遇到这种与无参情况截然不同的方式你会比较吃惊,何况还必须编写和无参decorator完成不同的代码。
含decorator参数的decorator函数
最后,让我们看一个更复杂一点的decorator函数实现,它需要你处理所有细节:
def decoratorFunctionWithArguments(arg1, arg2, arg3):
def wrap(f):
print "Inside wrap()"
def wrapped_f(*args):
print "Inside wrapped_f()"
print "Decorator arguments:", arg1, arg2, arg3
f(*args)
print "After f(*args)"
return wrapped_f
return wrap
@decoratorFunctionWithArguments("hello", "world", 42)
def sayHello(a1, a2, a3, a4):
print 'sayHello arguments:', a1, a2, a3, a4
print "After decoration"
print "Preparing to call sayHello()"
sayHello("say", "hello", "argument", "list")
print "after first sayHello() call"
sayHello("a", "different", "set of", "arguments")
print "after second sayHello() call"
输出结果为:
Inside wrap()
After decoration
Preparing to call sayHello()
Inside wrapped_f()
Decorator arguments: hello world 42
sayHello arguments: say hello argument list
After f(*args)
after first sayHello() call
Inside wrapped_f()
Decorator arguments: hello world 42
sayHello arguments: a different set of arguments
After f(*args)
after second sayHello() call
decorator函数的返回值必须是一个封装待decorated函数的函数。也就是说,Python会保存返回函数然后在decoration期间调用,并传递待decorated函数。这也是为何有三层函数的原因:里面那个函数才是被替换的。
由于闭包,wrapped_f()有权访问decorator参数arg1, arg2 和arg3,而无需像在class版本中那样显式存储它们。然而,我也是在这里发现了“显胜于隐(explicit is better than implicit)”。即使该函数版本看起来要更加简洁紧凑,但我发现还是类版本容易理解,当然也就容易修改和维护。
下一节内容
在下一节中我会给出decorators的一些实例—基于Python开发的build system—然后在最后一节讨论类decorators。
