Follow along...:
>>> class A(object): pass
...
>>> A.__mro__
(<class '__main__.A'>, <type 'object'>)
>>> class B(A): pass
...
>>> B.__mro__
(<class '__main__.B'>, <class '__main__.A'>, <type 'object'>)
>>> class C(A): pass
...
>>> C.__mro__
(<class '__main__.C'>, <class '__main__.A'>, <type 'object'>)
>>>
As long as we have single inheritance, __mro__
is just the tuple of: the class, its base, its base's base, and so on up to object
(only works for new-style classes of course).
Now, with multiple inheritance...:
>>> class D(B, C): pass
...
>>> D.__mro__
(<class '__main__.D'>, <class '__main__.B'>, <class '__main__.C'>, <class '__main__.A'>, <type 'object'>)
...you also get the assurance that, in __mro__
, no class is duplicated, and no class comes after its ancestors, save that classes that first enter at the same level of multiple inheritance (like B and C in this example) are in the __mro__
left to right.
你可以确保,mro里面没有任何事重复的,没有任何类在他祖先的后面,排序时按照自左到右排序的。
Every attribute you get on a class's instance, not just methods, is conceptually looked up along the __mro__
, so, if more than one class among the ancestors defines that name, this tells you where the attribute will be found -- in the first class in the __mro__
that defines that name.
这里讲的是如何搜索特定的属性。
