- <div class="versionadded">
- <p><span class="versionmodified added">New in version 3.3: </span>Formerly, this module was part of the <a class="reference internal" href="collections.html#module-collections" title="collections: Container datatypes"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">collections</span></code></a> module.</p>
- </div>

- <hr class="docutils" />
- <p>This module provides <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-abstract-base-class"><span class="xref std std-term">abstract base classes</span></a> that
- can be used to test whether a class provides a particular interface; for
- example, whether it is <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-hashable"><span class="xref std std-term">hashable</span></a> or whether it is a <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-mapping"><span class="xref std std-term">mapping</span></a>.</p>
- <p>An <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#issubclass" title="issubclass"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">issubclass()</span></code></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#isinstance" title="isinstance"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">isinstance()</span></code></a> test for an interface works in one
- of three ways.</p>
- <p>1) A newly written class can inherit directly from one of the
- abstract base classes. The class must supply the required abstract
- methods. The remaining mixin methods come from inheritance and can be
- overridden if desired. Other methods may be added as needed:</p>
- <div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">C</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Sequence</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="c1"># Direct inheritance</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="fm">__init__</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="c1"># Extra method not required by the ABC</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="fm">__getitem__</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">index</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="c1"># Required abstract method</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="fm">__len__</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="c1"># Required abstract method</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">count</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">value</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="c1"># Optionally override a mixin method</span>
- </pre></div>
- </div>
- <div class="highlight-pycon notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">issubclass</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">C</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">Sequence</span><span class="p">)</span>
- <span class="go">True</span>
- <span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">isinstance</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">C</span><span class="p">(),</span> <span class="n">Sequence</span><span class="p">)</span>
- <span class="go">True</span>
- </pre></div>
- </div>
- <p>2) Existing classes and built-in classes can be registered as “virtual
- subclasses” of the ABCs. Those classes should define the full API
- including all of the abstract methods and all of the mixin methods.
- This lets users rely on <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#issubclass" title="issubclass"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">issubclass()</span></code></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#isinstance" title="isinstance"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">isinstance()</span></code></a> tests
- to determine whether the full interface is supported. The exception to
- this rule is for methods that are automatically inferred from the rest
- of the API:</p>
- <div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">D</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="c1"># No inheritance</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="fm">__init__</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="c1"># Extra method not required by the ABC</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="fm">__getitem__</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">index</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="c1"># Abstract method</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="fm">__len__</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="c1"># Abstract method</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">count</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">value</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="c1"># Mixin method</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">index</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">value</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span> <span class="c1"># Mixin method</span>
-
- <span class="n">Sequence</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">register</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">D</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="c1"># Register instead of inherit</span>
- </pre></div>
- </div>
- <div class="highlight-pycon notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">issubclass</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">D</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">Sequence</span><span class="p">)</span>
- <span class="go">True</span>
- <span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">isinstance</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">D</span><span class="p">(),</span> <span class="n">Sequence</span><span class="p">)</span>
- <span class="go">True</span>
- </pre></div>
- </div>
- <p>In this example, class <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">D</span></code> does not need to define
- <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__contains__</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__iter__</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__reversed__</span></code> because the
- <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/expressions.html#comparisons"><span class="std std-ref">in-operator</span></a>, the <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-iterable"><span class="xref std std-term">iteration</span></a>
- logic, and the <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#reversed" title="reversed"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">reversed()</span></code></a> function automatically fall back to
- using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__getitem__</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__len__</span></code>.</p>
- <p>3) Some simple interfaces are directly recognizable by the presence of
- the required methods (unless those methods have been set to
- <a class="reference internal" href="constants.html#None" title="None"><code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code></a>):</p>
- <div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">E</span><span class="p">:</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="fm">__iter__</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span>
- <span class="k">def</span> <span class="fm">__next__</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">):</span> <span class="o">...</span>
- </pre></div>
- </div>
- <div class="highlight-pycon notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">issubclass</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">E</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">Iterable</span><span class="p">)</span>
- <span class="go">True</span>
- <span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="nb">isinstance</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">E</span><span class="p">(),</span> <span class="n">Iterable</span><span class="p">)</span>
- <span class="go">True</span>
- </pre></div>
- </div>
- <p>Complex interfaces do not support this last technique because an
- interface is more than just the presence of method names. Interfaces
- specify semantics and relationships between methods that cannot be
- inferred solely from the presence of specific method names. For
- example, knowing that a class supplies <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__getitem__</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__len__</span></code>, and
- <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__iter__</span></code> is insufficient for distinguishing a <a class="reference internal" href="#collections.abc.Sequence" title="collections.abc.Sequence"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Sequence</span></code></a> from
- a <a class="reference internal" href="#collections.abc.Mapping" title="collections.abc.Mapping"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Mapping</span></code></a>.</p>

- Consequently, if <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__getitem__" title="object.__getitem__"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__getitem__()</span></code></a> is implemented with constant

- <p>Notes on using <a class="reference internal" href="#collections.abc.Set" title="collections.abc.Set"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Set</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#collections.abc.MutableSet" title="collections.abc.MutableSet"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MutableSet</span></code></a> as a mixin:</p>
- <ol class="arabic simple">
- <li><p>Since some set operations create new sets, the default mixin methods need
- a way to create new instances from an <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-iterable"><span class="xref std std-term">iterable</span></a>. The class constructor is
- assumed to have a signature in the form <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ClassName(iterable)</span></code>.
- That assumption is factored-out to an internal <a class="reference internal" href="functions.html#classmethod" title="classmethod"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">classmethod</span></code></a> called
- <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_from_iterable()</span></code> which calls <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cls(iterable)</span></code> to produce a new set.
- If the <a class="reference internal" href="#collections.abc.Set" title="collections.abc.Set"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Set</span></code></a> mixin is being used in a class with a different
- constructor signature, you will need to override <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_from_iterable()</span></code>
- with a classmethod or regular method that can construct new instances from
- an iterable argument.</p></li>
- <li><p>To override the comparisons (presumably for speed, as the
- semantics are fixed), redefine <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__le__" title="object.__le__"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__le__()</span></code></a> and
- <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__ge__" title="object.__ge__"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__ge__()</span></code></a>,
- then the other operations will automatically follow suit.</p></li>
- <li><p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#collections.abc.Set" title="collections.abc.Set"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Set</span></code></a> mixin provides a <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_hash()</span></code> method to compute a hash value
- for the set; however, <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/datamodel.html#object.__hash__" title="object.__hash__"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__hash__()</span></code></a> is not defined because not all sets
- are <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-hashable"><span class="xref std std-term">hashable</span></a> or immutable. To add set hashability using mixins,
- inherit from both <a class="reference internal" href="#collections.abc.Set" title="collections.abc.Set"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Set()</span></code></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="#collections.abc.Hashable" title="collections.abc.Hashable"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Hashable()</span></code></a>, then define
- <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">__hash__</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">Set._hash</span></code>.</p></li>
