mro列表_mro方法和类的__mro__属性之间有什么区别？

I stumbled across this extra, no-underscores mro method when I was using __metaclass__ = abc.ABCMeta. It seems to be the same as __mro__ except that it returns a list instead of a tuple. Here's a random example (ideone snippet):

import abc

import copy

class Life(object):

__metaclass__ = abc.ABCMeta

@abc.abstractmethod

def reproduce(self):

pass

class Bacterium(Life):

def reproduce(self):

return copy.deepcopy(self)

wiggly = Bacterium()

print wiggly.__class__.__mro__

# (, , )

print wiggly.__class__.mro()

# [, , ]

I found later that this isn't unique to ABCMeta but is available in all new-style classes.

So... why? What is this doing that __mro__ isn't?

解决方案This method can be overridden by a metaclass to customize the method resolution order for its instances. It is called at class instantiation, and its result is stored in __mro__.

Pretty self-explanatory to me...

mro() is called on instanciation and stores its result in __mro__. They don't really have the same purpose.
