python __str__方法有什么用_Python和__str __（）方法 - 不好的做法与否？(Python and __str__() method - bad practice or no...

I've run into certain code snippet which recreates some objects every time in the __str__ method of a class.

From what I recall, the __str__ method shouldn't bother with object creation. It should just do simple formatting operations and return a string.

But I do not have any evidence for such statement. Is there any convention or perhaps a PEP explaining proper __str__ usage? I've found only PEPs regarding str vs. repr usage.

I've searched Stack Overflow, but I haven't found an answer.

Edit:

You've asked for example. Unfortunately I can't share the snippet, because it isn't mine. I'm asking for general guidelines by the community (if such thing exists).

Here's a roughly similar usage:

from collections import OrderedDict

class A:

def __init__(self, a, b, c):

self.a = a

self.b = b

self.c = c

def __str__(self):

# recreated every time...

dict_sorted = OrderedDict(sorted(self.__dict__.items()))

result = []

for i in dict_sorted.keys():

result.append(str((i, dict_sorted[i])))

return ' '.join(result)

if __name__ == "__main__":

a = A('foo', 'bar', 'baz')

print(a)
