虽然我强烈建议不要这样做,只使用抽象基类(http://docs.python.org/2/library/abc.html)强制执行某些方法,但这是可能的。
这是一个关于如何做这样的事情的例子:http ://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=101605
# mm.py
registry = {}
class MultiMethod(object):
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
self.typemap = {}
def __call__(self, *args):
types = tuple(arg.__class__ for arg in args) # a generator expression!
function = self.typemap.get(types)
if function is None:
raise TypeError("no match")
return function(*args)
def register(self, types, function):
if types in self.typemap:
raise TypeError("duplicate registration")
self.typemap[types] = function
def multimethod(*types):
def register(function):
function = getattr(function, "__lastreg__", function)
name = function.__name__
mm = registry.get(name)
if mm is None:
mm = registry[name] = MultiMethod(name)
mm.register(types, function)
mm.__lastreg__ = function
return mm
return register
if hasattr(function, "__lastreg__"):
function = function.__lastreg__
以及使用它的代码:
import mm
@mm.multimethod(int)
def spam(a):
print 'Calling the int method'
print '%s: %r' % (type(a), a)
@mm.multimethod(float)
def spam(a):
print 'Calling the float method'
print '%s: %r' % (type(a), a)
spam(5)
spam(5.0)
示例输出:
Calling the int method
<type 'int'>: 5
Calling the float method
<type 'float'>: 5.0
