• Python中为什么推荐使用isinstance来进行类型判断？而不是type

 

先来看一下英文的解释：

The isinstance() function checks if the object (first argument) is an instance or subclass of classinfo class (second argument).

The syntax of isinstance() is:

isinstance(object, classinfo)

isinstance() Parameters

The isinstance() takes two parameters:

• object - object to be checked
• classinfo - class, type, or tuple of classes and types

---

Return Value from isinstance()

The isinstance() returns:

• True if the object is an instance or subclass of a class, or any element of the tuple
• False otherwise

If classinfo is not a type or tuple of types, a TypeError exception is raised.

---

Example 1: How isinstance() works?

class Foo:
  a = 5
  
fooInstance = Foo()

print(isinstance(fooInstance, Foo))
print(isinstance(fooInstance, (list, tuple)))
print(isinstance(fooInstance, (list, tuple, Foo)))

When you run the program, the output will be:

True
False
True

Example 2: Working of isinstance() with Native Types

numbers = [1, 2, 3]

result = isinstance(numbers, list)
print(numbers,'instance of list?', result)

result = isinstance(numbers, dict)
print(numbers,'instance of dict?', result)

result = isinstance(numbers, (dict, list))
print(numbers,'instance of dict or list?', result)

number = 5

result = isinstance(number, list)
print(number,'instance of list?', result)

result = isinstance(number, int)
print(number,'instance of int?', result)

When you run the program, the output will be:

[1, 2, 3] instance of list? True
[1, 2, 3] instance of dict? False
[1, 2, 3] instance of dict or list? True
5 instance of list? False
5 instance of int? True

再看下面的代码：

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

class hhh:     def init1(self):         pass   class sss:     def init1(self):         print("ssss")   s = sss() print(isinstance(s, hhh))

　值是false，根据英文的解释，是对的。（python3基础教程第三版129页，描述是错的。）

    上面这种鸭子类型是不能通过检查的。

 

Python 中有很多的协议，比如迭代器协议，任何实现了 __iter__ 和 __next__ 方法的对象都可称之为迭代器，但对象本身是什么类型不受限制，这得益于鸭子类型。（这时由抽象基类来实现的）

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

from collections import Iterable from collections import Iterator     class MyIterator:     def __iter__(self):           pass         def __next__(self):         pass     print(isinstance(MyIterator(), Iterable)) print(isinstance(MyIterator(), Iterator))   True True

　　

抽象类

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod class hhh(ABC):     @abstractmethod     def init1(self):         pass   class sss:     def init1(self):         print("ssss")   s = sss() print(isinstance(s, hhh))     hhh.register(sss) print(isinstance(s, hhh))

　　第二个print的值时true，抽象类加注册。只是技巧，不推荐。 

 

issubclass: 判断一个类是否是另一个类的子类。
　　　　- 如果是: True
　　　　- 如果不是: False

Python中为什么推荐使用isinstance来进行类型判断？而不是type

 

isinstance() 与 type() 区别：

• type() 不会认为子类是一种父类类型，不考虑继承关系。

• isinstance() 会认为子类是一种父类类型，考虑继承关系。

 

对于基本类型来说 classinfo 可以是：

int，float，bool，complex，str(字符串)，list，dict(字典)，set，tuple
