Abstract
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Currently ``object.__getattribute__`` and ``super.__getattribute__`` peek
|
|
in the ``__dict__`` of classes on the MRO for a class when looking for
|
|
an attribute. This PEP adds an optional ``__getdescriptor__`` method to
|
|
a metaclass that can be used to override this behavior.
|
|
|
|
That is, the MRO walking loop in ``_PyType_Lookup`` and
|
|
``super.__getattribute__`` gets changed from::
|
|
|
|
def lookup(mro_list, name):
|
|
for cls in mro_list:
|
|
if name in cls.__dict__:
|
|
return cls.__dict__
|
|
|
|
return NotFound
|
|
|
|
to::
|
|
|
|
def lookup(mro_list, name):
|
|
for cls in mro_list:
|
|
try:
|
|
return cls.__getdescriptor__(name)
|
|
except AttributeError:
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
return NotFound
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rationale
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
It is currently not possible to influence how the `super class`_ looks
|
|
up attributes (that is, ``super.__getattribute__`` unconditionally
|
|
peeks in the class ``__dict__``), and that can be problematic for
|
|
dynamic classes that can grow new methods on demand.
|
|
|
|
The ``__getdescriptor__`` method makes it possible to dynamically add
|
|
attributes even when looking them up using the `super class`_.
|
|
|
|
The new method affects ``object.__getattribute__`` (and
|
|
`PyObject_GenericGetAttr`_) as well for consistency and to have a single
|
|
place to implement dynamic attribute resolution for classes.
|
|
|
|
Background
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The current behavior of ``super.__getattribute__`` causes problems for
|
|
classes that are dynamic proxies for other (non-Python) classes or types,
|
|
an example of which is `PyObjC`_. PyObjC creates a Python class for every
|
|
class in the Objective-C runtime, and looks up methods in the Objective-C
|
|
runtime when they are used. This works fine for normal access, but doesn't
|
|
work for access with ``super`` objects. Because of this PyObjC currently
|
|
includes a custom ``super`` that must be used with its classes.
|
|
|
|
The API in this PEP makes it possible to remove the custom ``super`` and
|
|
simplifies the implementation because the custom lookup behavior can be
|
|
added in a central location.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The superclass attribute lookup hook
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Both ``super.__getattribute__`` and ``object.__getattribute__`` (or
|
|
`PyObject_GenericGetAttr`_ and in particular ``_PyType_Lookup`` in C code)
|
|
walk an object's MRO and currently peek in the class' ``__dict__`` to look up
|
|
attributes.
|
|
|
|
With this proposal both lookup methods no longer peek in the class ``__dict__``
|
|
but call the special method ``__getdescriptor__``, which is a slot defined
|
|
on the metaclass. The default implementation of that method looks
|
|
up the name the class ``__dict__``, which means that attribute lookup is
|
|
unchanged unless a metatype actually defines the new special method.
|
|
|
|
Aside: Attribute resolution algorithm in Python
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The attribute resolution proces as implemented by ``object.__getattribute__`` (or
|
|
PyObject_GenericGetAttr`` in CPython's implementation) is fairly straightforward,
|
|
but not entirely so without reading C code.
|
|
|
|
The current CPython implementation of object.__getattribute__ is basicly equivalent
|
|
to the following (pseudo-) Python code (excluding some house keeping and speed tricks)::
|
|
|
|
|
|
def _PyType_Lookup(tp, name):
|
|
mro = tp.mro()
|
|
assert isinstance(mro, tuple)
|
|
|
|
for base in mro:
|
|
assert isinstance(base, type)
|
|
|
|
# PEP 447 will change these lines:
|
|
try:
|
|
return base.__dict__[name]
|
|
except KeyError:
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
return None
|
|
|
|
|
|
class object:
|
|
def __getattribute__(self, name):
|
|
assert isinstance(name, str)
|
|
|
|
tp = type(self)
|
|
descr = _PyType_Lookup(tp, name)
|
|
|
|
f = None
|
|
if descr is not None:
|
|
f = descr.__get__
|
|
if f is not None and descr.__set__ is not None:
|
|
# Data descriptor
|
|
return f(descr, self, type(self))
|
|
|
|
dict = self.__dict__
|
|
if dict is not None:
|
|
try:
|
|
return self.__dict__[name]
|
|
except KeyError:
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
if f is not None:
|
|
# Non-data descriptor
|
|
return f(descr, self, type(self))
|
|
|
|
if descr is not None:
|
|
# Regular class attribute
|
|
return descr
|
|
|
|
raise AttributeError(name)
|
|
|
|
|
|
class super:
|
|
def __getattribute__(self, name):
|
|
assert isinstance(name, unicode)
|
|
|
|
if name != '__class__':
|
|
starttype = self.__self_type__
|
|
mro = startype.mro()
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
idx = mro.index(self.__thisclass__)
|
|
|
|
except ValueError:
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
else:
|
|
for base in mro[idx+1:]:
|
|
# PEP 447 will change these lines:
|
|
try:
|
|
descr = base.__dict__[name]
|
|
except KeyError:
|
|
continue
|
|
|
|
f = descr.__get__
|
|
if f is not None:
|
|
return f(descr,
|
|
None if (self.__self__ is self.__self_type__) else self.__self__,
|
|
starttype)
|
|
|
|
else:
|
|
return descr
|
|
|
|
return object.__getattribute__(self, name)
|
|
|
|
|
|
This PEP should change the dict lookup at the lines starting at "# PEP 447" with
|
|
a method call to perform the actual lookup, making is possible to affect that lookup
|
|
both for normal attribute access and access through the `super proxy`_.
|
|
|
|
Note that specific classes can already completely override the default
|
|
behaviour by implementing their own ``__getattribute__`` slot (with or without
|
|
calling the super class implementation).
|
|
|
|
|
|
In Python code
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
A meta type can define a method ``__getdescriptor__`` that is called during
|
|
attribute resolution by both ``super.__getattribute__``
|
|
and ``object.__getattribute``::
|
|
|
|
class MetaType(type):
|
|
def __getdescriptor__(cls, name):
|
|
try:
|
|
return cls.__dict__[name]
|
|
except KeyError:
|
|
raise AttributeError(name) from None
|
|
|
|
The ``__getdescriptor__`` method has as its arguments a class (which is an
|
|
instance of the meta type) and the name of the attribute that is looked up.
|
|
It should return the value of the attribute without invoking descriptors,
|
|
and should raise `AttributeError`_ when the name cannot be found.
|
|
|
|
The `type`_ class provides a default implementation for ``__getdescriptor__``,
|
|
that looks up the name in the class dictionary.
|
|
|
|
Example usage
|
|
.............
|
|
|
|
The code below implements a silly metaclass that redirects attribute lookup to
|
|
uppercase versions of names::
|
|
|
|
class UpperCaseAccess (type):
|
|
def __getdescriptor__(cls, name):
|
|
try:
|
|
return cls.__dict__[name.upper()]
|
|
except KeyError:
|
|
raise AttributeError(name) from None
|
|
|
|
class SillyObject (metaclass=UpperCaseAccess):
|
|
def m(self):
|
|
return 42
|
|
|
|
def M(self):
|
|
return "fourtytwo"
|
|
|
|
obj = SillyObject()
|
|
assert obj.m() == "fortytwo"
|
|
|
|
As mentioned earlier in this PEP a more realistic use case of this functionallity
|
|
is a ``__getdescriptor__`` method that dynamicly populates the class ``__dict__``
|
|
based on attribute access, primarily when it is not possible to reliably keep the
|
|
class dict in sync with its source, for example because the source used to populate
|
|
``__dict__`` is dynamic as well and does not have triggers that can be used to detect
|
|
changes to that source.
|
|
|
|
An example of that are the class bridges in PyObjC: the class bridge is a Python
|
|
object (class) that represents an Objective-C class and conceptually has a Python
|
|
method for every Objective-C method in the Objective-C class. As with Python it is
|
|
possible to add new methods to an Objective-C class, or replace existing ones, and
|
|
there are no callbacks that can be used to detect this.
|
|
|
|
In C code
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
A new slot ``tp_getdescriptor`` is added to the ``PyTypeObject`` struct, this
|
|
slot corresponds to the ``__getdescriptor__`` method on `type`_.
|
|
|
|
The slot has the following prototype::
|
|
|
|
PyObject* (*getdescriptorfunc)(PyTypeObject* cls, PyObject* name);
|
|
|
|
This method should lookup *name* in the namespace of *cls*, without looking at
|
|
superclasses, and should not invoke descriptors. The method returns ``NULL``
|
|
without setting an exception when the *name* cannot be found, and returns a
|
|
new reference otherwise (not a borrowed reference).
|
|
|
|
Use of this hook by the interpreter
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The new method is required for metatypes and as such is defined on `type_`.
|
|
Both ``super.__getattribute__`` and
|
|
``object.__getattribute__``/`PyObject_GenericGetAttr`_
|
|
(through ``_PyType_Lookup``) use the this ``__getdescriptor__`` method when
|
|
walking the MRO.
|
|
|
|
Other changes to the implementation
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The change for `PyObject_GenericGetAttr`_ will be done by changing the private
|
|
function ``_PyType_Lookup``. This currently returns a borrowed reference, but
|
|
must return a new reference when the ``__getdescriptor__`` method is present.
|
|
Because of this ``_PyType_Lookup`` will be renamed to ``_PyType_LookupName``,
|
|
this will cause compile-time errors for all out-of-tree users of this
|
|
private API.
|
|
|
|
The attribute lookup cache in ``Objects/typeobject.c`` is disabled for classes
|
|
that have a metaclass that overrides ``__getdescriptor__``, because using the
|
|
cache might not be valid for such classes.
|
|
|
|
Performance impact
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The pybench output below compares an implementation of this PEP with the
|
|
regular source tree, both based on changeset a5681f50bae2, run on an idle
|
|
machine an Core i7 processor running Centos 6.4.
|
|
|
|
Even though the machine was idle there were clear differences between runs,
|
|
I've seen difference in "minimum time" vary from -0.1% to +1.5%, with similar
|
|
(but slightly smaller) differences in the "average time" difference.

Alternative proposals
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
``__getattribute_super__``
|
|
..........................
|
|
|
|
An earlier version of this PEP used the following static method on classes::
|
|
|
|
def __getattribute_super__(cls, name, object, owner): pass
|
|
|
|
This method performed name lookup as well as invoking descriptors and was
|
|
necessarily limited to working only with ``super.__getattribute__``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reuse ``tp_getattro``
|
|
.....................
|
|
|
|
It would be nice to avoid adding a new slot, thus keeping the API simpler and
|
|
easier to understand. A comment on `Issue 18181`_ asked about reusing the
|
|
``tp_getattro`` slot, that is super could call the ``tp_getattro`` slot of all
|
|
methods along the MRO.
|
|
|
|
That won't work because ``tp_getattro`` will look in the instance
|
|
``__dict__`` before it tries to resolve attributes using classes in the MRO.
|
|
This would mean that using ``tp_getattro`` instead of peeking the class
|
|
dictionaries changes the semantics of the `super class`_.
