Python 中具有依赖关系的惰性数据流（类似电子表格）属性

Question

我的问题如下：我有一些 python 类，它们具有从其他属性派生的属性；一旦计算完毕，就应该缓存它们，并且每次更改基本属性时，缓存的结果都应该失效。

我可以手动完成，但如果属性数量增加，维护似乎相当困难。因此，我希望在我的对象中添加类似 Makefile 规则的内容，以自动跟踪需要重新计算的内容。

所需的语法和行为应该是这样的：

# this does dirty magic, like generating the reverse dependency graph,
# and preparing the setters that invalidate the cached values
@dataflow_class
class Test(object):

    def calc_a(self):
        return self.b + self.c

    def calc_c(self):
        return self.d * 2

    a = managed_property(calculate=calc_a, depends_on=('b', 'c'))
    b = managed_property(default=0)
    c = managed_property(calculate=calc_c, depends_on=('d',))
    d = managed_property(default=0)


t = Test()

print t.a
# a has not been initialized, so it calls calc_a
# gets b value
# c has not been initialized, so it calls calc_c
# c value is calculated and stored in t.__c
# a value is calculated and stored in t.__a

t.b = 1
# invalidates the calculated value stored in self.__a

print t.a
# a has been invalidated, so it calls calc_a
# gets b value
# gets c value, from t.__c
# a value is calculated and stored in t.__a

print t.a
# gets value from t.__a

t.d = 2
# invalidates the calculated values stored in t.__a and t.__c

那么，是否有类似的东西已经可用，或者我应该开始实现自己的？对于第二种情况，欢迎提出建议:-)

Answer 1

在这里，这应该可以解决问题。
描述符机制（语言通过它实现“属性”）是
足够你想要的了。

如果下面的代码在某些极端情况下不起作用，请写信给我。

class DependentProperty(object):
    def __init__(self, calculate=None, default=None, depends_on=()):
        # "name" and "dependence_tree" properties are attributes
        # set up by the metaclass of the owner class
        if calculate:
            self.calculate = calculate
        else:
            self.default = default
        self.depends_on = set(depends_on)

    def __get__(self, instance, owner):
        if hasattr(self, "default"):
            return self.default
        if not hasattr(instance, "_" + self.name):
            setattr(instance, "_" + self.name,
                self.calculate(instance, getattr(instance, "_" + self.name + "_last_value")))
        return getattr(instance, "_" + self.name)

    def __set__(self, instance, value):
        setattr(instance, "_" + self.name + "_last_value", value)
        setattr(instance, "_" + self.name, self.calculate(instance, value))
        for attr in self.dependence_tree[self.name]:
            delattr(instance, attr)

    def __delete__(self, instance):
        try:
            delattr(instance, "_" + self.name)
        except AttributeError:
            pass


def assemble_tree(name,  dict_, all_deps = None):
    if all_deps is None:
        all_deps = set()
    for dependance in dict_[name].depends_on:
        all_deps.add(dependance)
        assemble_tree(dependance, dict_, all_deps)
    return all_deps

def invert_tree(tree):
    new_tree = {}
    for key, val in tree.items():
        for dependence in val:
            if dependence not in new_tree:
                new_tree[dependence] = set()
            new_tree[dependence].add(key)
    return new_tree

class DependenceMeta(type):
    def __new__(cls, name, bases, dict_):
        dependence_tree = {}
        properties = []
        for key, val in dict_.items():
            if not isinstance(val, DependentProperty):
                continue
            val.name = key
            val.dependence_tree = dependence_tree
            dependence_tree[key] = set()
            properties.append(val)
        inverted_tree = {}
        for property in properties:
            inverted_tree[property.name] = assemble_tree(property.name, dict_)
        dependence_tree.update(invert_tree(inverted_tree))
        return type.__new__(cls, name, bases, dict_)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Example and visual test:

    class Bla:
        __metaclass__ = DependenceMeta

        def calc_b(self, x):
            print "Calculating b"
            return x + self.a

        def calc_c(self, x):
            print "Calculating c"
            return x + self.b

        a = DependentProperty(default=10)    
        b = DependentProperty(depends_on=("a",), calculate=calc_b)
        c = DependentProperty(depends_on=("b",), calculate=calc_c)




    bla = Bla()
    bla.b = 5
    bla.c = 10

    print bla.a, bla.b, bla.c
    bla.b = 10
    print bla.b
    print bla.c

Answer 2

我想要一些类似于 Makefile 规则的东西

，然后使用一个！你可以考虑这样的模型：

• 一条规则 = 一个 python 文件
• 一个结果 = 一个 *.data 文件
• 管道被实现为 makefile 或使用其他依赖分析工具（cmake、scons）

我们公司的硬件测试团队使用这样的框架密集的探索性测试：

• 您可以轻松集成其他语言和工具
• 您可以获得稳定且经过验证的解决方案
• 计算可以分布在多个CPU/计算机上
• 您跟踪对值和规则的依赖
• 关系中间值的调试很容易

（大）这种方法的缺点是您必须放弃 python import 关键字，因为它会创建隐式（且未跟踪）依赖项（对此有解决方法）。
