诀窍是显式地为cls
参数添加注释,结合TypeVar
, 用于泛型, 和Type
, 来表示一个类而不是实例本身,如下所示:
from typing import TypeVar, Type
# Create a generic variable that can be 'Parent', or any subclass.
T = TypeVar('T', bound='Parent')
class Parent:
def __init__(self, bar: str) -> None:
self.bar = bar
@classmethod
def with_stuff_appended(cls: Type[T], bar: str) -> T:
# We annotate 'cls' with a typevar so that we can
# type our return type more precisely
return cls(bar + "stuff")
class Child(Parent):
# If you're going to redefine __init__, make sure it
# has a signature that's compatible with the Parent's __init__,
# since mypy currently doesn't check for that.
def child_only(self) -> int:
return 3
# Mypy correctly infers that p is of type 'Parent',
# and c is of type 'Child'.
p = Parent.with_stuff_appended("10")
c = Child.with_stuff_appended("20")
# We can verify this ourself by using the special 'reveal_type'
# function. Be sure to delete these lines before running your
# code -- this function is something only mypy understands
# (it's meant to help with debugging your types).
reveal_type(p) # Revealed type is 'test.Parent*'
reveal_type(c) # Revealed type is 'test.Child*'
# So, these all typecheck
print(p.bar)
print(c.bar)
print(c.child_only())
通常,你可以不加注解cls
(and self
),但是如果你需要引用特定的子类,你可以添加一个显式的注解。请注意,此功能仍处于试验阶段,在某些情况下可能存在错误。您可能还需要使用从 Github 克隆的最新版本的 mypy,而不是 pypi 上可用的版本——我不记得该版本是否支持类方法的此功能。
