Python是一门弱类型语言,很多从C/C++转过来的朋友起初不是很适应。比如,在声明一个函数时,不能指定参数的类型。用C做类比,那就是所有参数都是void*类型!void类型强制转换在C++中被广泛地认为是个坏习惯,不到万不得已是不会使用的。
Python自然没有类型强制转换一说了,因为它是动态语言。首先,所有对象都从Object继承而来,其次,它有强大的内省,如果调用某个不存在的方法会有异常抛出。大多数情况,我们都不需要做参数类型栓查,除了一些特殊情况。例如,某个函数接受一个str类型,结果在实际调用时传入的是unicode,测试过程中又没有代码覆盖到,这样问题就比较严重了。解决方法也很简单,借助Python的内省,很容易就能判断出参数的类型。但是每个地方都写检查代码会很累赘,何况它带来的实际价值并不高。一个好的解决方法是使用装饰器。
''' >>> NONE, MEDIUM, STRONG = 0, 1, 2 >>> >>> @accepts(int, int, int) ... def average(x, y, z): ... return (x + y + z) / 2 ... >>> average(5.5, 10, 15.0) TypeWarning: 'average' method accepts (int, int, int), but was given (float, int, float) 15.25 ''' def accepts(*types, **kw): """ Function decorator.

本质上讲,这也是一种运行时检查,但效果已经不错了。
