About this skill
Python 开发模式
用于构建健壮、高效和可维护应用程序的惯用 Python 模式与最佳实践。
何时激活
- 编写新的 Python 代码
- 审查 Python 代码
- 重构现有的 Python 代码
- 设计 Python 包/模块
核心原则
1. 可读性很重要
Python 优先考虑可读性。代码应该清晰且易于理解。
# Good: Clear and readable
def get_active_users(users: list[User]) -> list[User]:
"""Return only active users from the provided list."""
return [user for user in users if user.is_active]
# Bad: Clever but confusing
def get_active_users(u):
return [x for x in u if x.a]
2. 显式优于隐式
避免魔法;清晰说明你的代码在做什么。
# Good: Explicit configuration
import logging
logging.basicConfig(
level=logging.INFO,
format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
)
# Bad: Hidden side effects
import some_module
some_module.setup() # What does this do?
3. EAFP - 请求宽恕比请求许可更容易
Python 倾向于使用异常处理而非检查条件。
# Good: EAFP style
def get_value(dictionary: dict, key: str, default_value: Any = None) -> Any:
try:
return dictionary[key]
except KeyError:
return default_value
# Bad: LBYL (Look Before You Leap) style
def get_value(dictionary: dict, key: str, default_value: Any = None) -> Any:
if key in dictionary:
return dictionary[key]
else:
return default_value
类型提示
基本类型注解
from typing import Optional, List, Dict, Any
def process_user(
user_id: str,
data: Dict[str, Any],
active: bool = True
) -> Optional[User]:
"""Process a user and return the updated User or None."""
if not active:
return None
return User(user_id, data)
现代类型提示(Python 3.9+)
# Python 3.9+ - Use built-in types
def process_items(items: list[str]) -> dict[str, int]:
return {item: len(item) for item in items}
# Python 3.8 and earlier - Use typing module
from typing import List, Dict
def process_items(items: List[str]) -> Dict[str, int]:
return {item: len(item) for item in items}
类型别名和 TypeVar
from typing import TypeVar, Union
# Type alias for complex types
JSON = Union[dict[str, Any], list[Any], str, int, float, bool, None]
def parse_json(data: str) -> JSON:
return json.loads(data)
# Generic types
T = TypeVar('T')
def first(items: list[T]) -> T | None:
"""Return the first item or None if list is empty."""
return items[0] if items else None
基于协议的鸭子类型
from typing import Protocol
class Renderable(Protocol):
def render(self) -> str:
"""Render the object to a string."""
def render_all(items: list[Renderable]) -> str:
"""Render all items that implement the Renderable protocol."""
return "\n".join(item.render() for item in items)
错误处理模式
特定异常处理
# Good: Catch specific exceptions
def load_config(path: str) -> Config:
try:
with open(path) as f:
return Config.from_json(f.read())
except FileNotFoundError as e:
raise ConfigError(f"Config file not found: {path}") from e
except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
raise ConfigError(f"Invalid JSON in config: {path}") from e
# Bad: Bare except
def load_config(path: str) -> Config:
try:
with open(path) as f:
return Config.from_json(f.read())
except:
return None # Silent failure!
异常链
def process_data(data: str) -> Result:
try:
parsed = json.loads(data)
except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
# Chain exceptions to preserve the traceback
raise ValueError(f"Failed to parse data: {data}") from e
自定义异常层次结构
class AppError(Exception):
"""Base exception for all application errors."""
pass
class ValidationError(AppError):
"""Raised when input validation fails."""
pass
class NotFoundError(AppError):
"""Raised when a requested resource is not found."""
pass
# Usage
def get_user(user_id: str) -> User:
user = db.find_user(user_id)
if not user:
raise NotFoundError(f"User not found: {user_id}")
return user
上下文管理器
资源管理
# Good: Using context managers
def process_file(path: str) -> str:
with open(path, 'r') as f:
return f.read()
# Bad: Manual resource management
def process_file(path: str) -> str:
f = open(path, 'r')
try:
return f.read()
finally:
f.close()
自定义上下文管理器
from contextlib import contextmanager
@contextmanager
def timer(name: str):
"""Context manager to time a block of code."""
start = time.perf_counter()
yield
elapsed = time.perf_counter() - start
print(f"{name} took {elapsed:.4f} seconds")
# Usage
with timer("data processing"):
process_large_dataset()
上下文管理器类
class DatabaseTransaction:
def __init__(self, connection):
self.connection = connection
def __enter__(self):
self.connection.begin_transaction()
return self
def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
if exc_type is None:
self.connection.commit()
else:
self.connection.rollback()
return False # Don't suppress exceptions
# Usage
with DatabaseTransaction(conn):
user = conn.create_user(user_data)
conn.create_profile(user.id, profile_data)
推导式和生成器
列表推导式
# Good: List comprehension for simple transformations
names = [user.name for user in users if user.is_active]
# Bad: Manual loop
names = []
for user in users:
if user.is_active:
names.append(user.name)
# Complex comprehensions should be expanded
# Bad: Too complex
result = [x * 2 for x in items if x > 0 if x % 2 == 0]
# Good: Use a generator function
def filter_and_transform(items: Iterable[int]) -> list[int]:
result = []
for x in items:
if x > 0 and x % 2 == 0:
result.append(x * 2)
return result
生成器表达式
# Good: Generator for lazy evaluation
total = sum(x * x for x in range(1_000_000))
# Bad: Creates large intermediate list
total = sum([x * x for x in range(1_000_000)])
生成器函数
def read_large_file(path: str) -> Iterator[str]:
"""Read a large file line by line."""
with open(path) as f:
for line in f:
yield line.strip()
# Usage
for line in read_large_file("huge.txt"):
process(line)
数据类和命名元组

from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from datetime import datetime
@dataclass
class User:
"""User entity with automatic __init__, __repr__, and __eq__."""
id: str
name: str
email: str
created_at: datetime = field(default_factory=datetime.now)
is_active: bool = True
# Usage
user = User(
id="123",
name="Alice",
email="[email protected]"
)
带验证的数据类
@dataclass
class User:
email: str

def __post_init__(self):
# Validate email format
if "@" not in self.email:
raise ValueError(f"Invalid email: {self.email}")
# Validate age range
if self.age < 0 or self.age > 150:
raise ValueError(f"Invalid age: {self.age}")
命名元组
from typing import NamedTuple
class Point(NamedTuple):
"""Immutable 2D point."""
x: float
y: float
def distance(self, other: 'Point') -> float:
return ((self.x - other.x) ** 2 + (self.y - other.y) ** 2) ** 0.5
# Usage
p1 = Point(0, 0)
p2 = Point(3, 4)
print(p1.distance(p2)) # 5.0

When not to use it
- →Legacy codebases requiring older Python versions without type support
- →Non-Python projects
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires Python 3.9+ for modern type hints
- →Must avoid mutable default arguments
How it compares
It focuses on maintainability and readability through modern Python standards rather than just functional code completion.
