这个类型在公司的量化交易项目上经常使用,所以总结一下用法。

使用枚举类
正文
当我们需要定义常量时,一个办法是用大写变量通过整数来定义,例如月份:
1 2 3 4 5 6
| JAN = 1 FEB = 2 MAR = 3 ... NOV = 11 DEC = 12
|
好处是简单,缺点是类型是int,并且仍然是变量。
更好的方法是为这样的枚举类型定义一个class类型,然后,每个常量都是class的一个唯一实例。Python提供了Enum类来实现这个功能:
1 2 3
| from enum import Enum
Month = Enum('Month', ('Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'))
|
这样我们就获得了Month类型的枚举类,可以直接使用Month.Jan来引用一个常量,或者枚举它的所有成员:
1 2
| for name, member in Month.__members__.items(): print(name, '=>', member, ',', member.value)
|
value属性则是自动赋给成员的int常量,默认从1开始计数。
如果需要更精确地控制枚举类型,可以从Enum派生出自定义类:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
| from enum import Enum, unique
@unique class Weekday(Enum): Sun = 0 Mon = 1 Tue = 2 Wed = 3 Thu = 4 Fri = 5 Sat = 6
|
@unique装饰器可以帮助我们检查保证没有重复值。
访问这些枚举类型可以有若干种方法:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
| >>> day1 = Weekday.Mon >>> print(day1) Weekday.Mon >>> print(Weekday.Tue) Weekday.Tue >>> print(Weekday['Tue']) Weekday.Tue >>> print(Weekday.Tue.value) 2 >>> print(day1 == Weekday.Mon) True >>> print(day1 == Weekday.Tue) False >>> print(Weekday(1)) Weekday.Mon >>> print(day1 == Weekday(1)) True >>> Weekday(7) Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: 7 is not a valid Weekday >>> for name, member in Weekday.__members__.items(): ... print(name, '=>', member) ... Sun => Weekday.Sun Mon => Weekday.Mon Tue => Weekday.Tue Wed => Weekday.Wed Thu => Weekday.Thu Fri => Weekday.Fri Sat => Weekday.Sat
|
可见,既可以用成员名称引用枚举常量,又可以直接根据value的值获得枚举常量。
