python实现单例_Python实现单例模式

定义

An implementation of the singleton pattern must:

ensure that only one instance of the singleton class ever exists; and

provide global access to that instance.

单例模式就是保证类在整个使用过程中有且只有一个实例.

Python原理

要想保证类的使用过程中有且只有一个实例, 就需要对Python中类的实例化, 以及实例化后的使用过程有所了解. 这个过程主要涉及到3个方法:

__new__

__init__

__call__

这3个方法的调用过程是: 首先调用__new__, 来生成新的实例; 其次, 调用__init__对新实例进行相关设置; 最后, 如果类中实现了__call__方法的话, 那么类的实例也是一个可调用对象, 调用实例时instance()其实就是调用实例所属的类类的__call__方法.

清楚了3个方法的调用时机, 再结合单例模式的定义就不难实现Python版本的单例模式了.

Python实现

Python中实现单例模式主要有一下几种方式:

__call__

__new__

__call__

在python中一切都是对象, 类其实也是一个对象, 一个类是其元类(MetaClass)的实例(定义类的时候其实就会调用元类的__init__方法).

这样理解过来, 类的实例初始化实际上就是通过调用了类的元类的__call__方法实现的.

def output( self, msg, *args, **kwargs ):

if self.manager.disable >= OUTPUT:

return

if self.isEnabledFor( OUTPUT ):

self._log( OUTPUT, msg, args, kwargs )

# pylint: enable=method-hidden

每次实例化MininetLogger时, 其实调用了Singleton的__call__方法, 这个可以在Singleton和MininetLogger类中相关方法添加打印日志进行验证.

当然Singleton还有其他的定义方式:

# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6760685/creating-a-singleton-in-python

class Singleton(type):

_instances = {}

def __call__(cls, *args, **kwargs):

if cls not in cls._instances:

cls._instances[cls] = super(Singleton, cls).__call__(*args, **kwargs)

return cls._instances[cls]

但是这种方式在多个类(A, B)同时指向Singleton为__metaclass__的话, 当实例化A后, 可以通过B._instances看到到A的instance.

__new__

每次实例化一个类的新实例的时候其实会调用类的__new__方法, 这样就可以通过在类的__new__方法中进行唯一实例的控制.

# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6760685/creating-a-singleton-in-python

class Singleton(object):

_instance = None

def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):

if not isinstance(cls._instance, cls):

cls._instance = object.__new__(cls, *args, **kwargs)

return cls._instance

class A(Singleton):

pass

id(A()) == id(A())

# True

总结

单例模式就是保证在整个程序使用过程中无论实例化(class())多少次, 在内存中只保存一个实例.

在Python中通过利用__new__和__call__两个魔法函数就可以通过在类或者类的元类中定义这两个方法实现单例模式.
