在 Python 中，鸭子类型（duck typing）是一种动态类型的风格。所谓鸭子类型，来自于 James Whitcomb Riley 的“鸭子测试”：

当看到一只鸟走起来像鸭子、游泳起来像鸭子、叫起来也像鸭子，那么这只鸟就可以被称为鸭子。

假设我们需要定义一个函数，这个函数使用一个类型为鸭子的参数，并调用它的走和叫方法。

在鸭子类型的语言中，这样的函数可以接受任何类型的对象，只要这个对象实现了走和叫的方法，否则就引发一个运行时错误。换句话说，任何拥有走和叫方法的参数都是合法的。

先看一个例子，父类：

In [1]:

class Leaf(object):
    def __init__(self, color="green"):
        self.color = color
    def fall(self):
        print "Splat!"

子类：

In [2]:

class MapleLeaf(Leaf):
    def fall(self):
        self.color = 'brown'
        super(MapleLeaf, self).fall()

新的类：

In [3]:

class Acorn(object):
    def fall(self):
        print "Plunk!"

这三个类都实现了 fall() 方法，因此可以这样使用：

In [4]:

objects = [Leaf(), MapleLeaf(), Acorn()]

for obj in objects:
    obj.fall()

Splat!
Splat!
Plunk!

这里 fall() 方法就一种鸭子类型的体现。

不仅方法可以用鸭子类型，属性也可以：

测试：

In [6]:

forest = Forest()
b_forest = BurnableForest()
sb_forest = SlowBurnForest()
ib_forest = InstantBurnForest()

forests = [forest, b_forest, sb_forest, ib_forest]

losses_history = []

for i in xrange(1500):
    for fst in forests:
        fst.advance_one_step()
    losses_history.append(tuple(fst.losses.sum() for fst in forests))

显示结果：

In [7]:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline

plt.figure(figsize=(10,6))

plt.plot(losses_history)
plt.legend([f.__str__() for f in forests])

plt.show()
